Abstract

Recently, new climate change mechanism after 2020 year has been accepted with the parties, and so government is pushing ahead the GHG reduction policies to achieve the effective results. Especially, it is essential to enhance the role of railroad in the public traffic system as well as to develop new cars with high energy efficiency for the GHG reduction of transportation sector. Thus, the calculation method of GHG emission of railroad should be established to manage the emission continuously. In this study, the calculation method of GHG emission of railroad was defined with Tier level considering its emission sources to refer to 2006 IPCC guideline for national GHG inventories. Also, the GHG emission of railroad at Tier 1 level was investigated using the activity data related to the amount of diesel and electricity consumption from 2008 to 2010. As a result, total GHG emission in 2010 was about 2,060 thousands ton CO2e, which have 73% of electricity and 27% of diesel. In future, the plans on the GHG reduction of railroad will be accomplished by the analysis of the detailed trends on the basis of the emission management of Tier 3 level under operating patterns. Therefore, it is important to develop the specific GHG emission factors of railroad in advance.

최근 선진국을 중심으로 2020년 이후의 신 기후변화체제에 대한 합의가 도출되면서 정부의 온실가스 저감정책은 구체적인 성과를 확보하기 위한 방향으로 빠르게 전환되고 있다. 특히 부문별 온실가스 감축목표 할당에 따라 수송부문의 저감방안은 고효율 에너지 소비 차량의 개발도 필요하지만 기존의 대중교통체계에서 저탄소 교통수단인 철도의 역할을 강조하고 있다. 따라서 향후 지속적으로 철도수송에 따른 온실가스 배출량을 관리하기 위해서는 체계적인 산정방법의 정립이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 국가 온실가스 인벤토리 작성을 위한 2006 IPCC 가이드라인을 토대로 철도수송의 온실가스 배출원에 따라 Tier별 배출량 산정방법을 정의하였다. 또한 최근 3년(2008-2010) 동안의 철도수송에 따른 디젤 및 전력소비량을 기반으로 활동도 자료를 수집하여 Tier 1 수준에서의 온실가스 배출경향을 살펴보았다. 그 결과, 2010년 온실가스 총 배출량은 약 206만톤 $CO_2e$이었으며, 이 중 전력소비량이 73%를 차지하고, 디젤연료 소비량이 27%를 기여하였다. 향후 철도수송의 온실가스 저감방안을 도출하기 위해서는 다양한 운행패턴 인자를 반영한 Tier 3 수준의 배출량 산정 관리를 토대로 보다 세부적인 배출경향에 대한 파악이 필요하며, 이를 위해서는 무엇보다 배출계수의 개발이 선행되어야 할 것이다.
