탄소배출량 정량화 시스템을 통한 탄소 배출 분석: 국내 에너지원별 배출량

초록

As 134 countries have declared their comitment to carbon neutrality, the importance of achieving this goal by 2050 has increased within the international community. In South Korea, theMinistry of Environment has established guidelines for calculating carbon emissions; however, many businesses and institutions struggle to accurately estimate emissions from various sources, and exising publicly available systems remain insufficient. This paper presents the development of an open-source “Carbon Footprint Tracking Program” designed for the quantification and visualization of carbon emissions. It analyzes real-world data based on energy-use statistics from the Korea Energy Agency, revealing that the energy sources contribute as follows: coal (46.17%), gas (36.21%), and electricity(13.91%). The analysis indicates that carbon emissions are highest from electricity (61.10%), followed by coal (38.87%) and gas (0.03%). Among sectors, manufacturing (53.03%) and the industrial sector(93.9%), particularly the metals industry within the industrial sector (40.1%), exhibit the highest shares of emissions. This study introduces a carbon emissions quantification system and provides case analyses to support progress toward carbon neutrality.
