Abstract

Since 2021, KOMIR has been developing a life-cycle carbon emission methodology to calculate and manage carbon emissions from mine rehabilitation projects. In 2022, the standard construction cost–based carbon emission factors were incorporated into the Mine Rehabilitation Technology Standards as part of the Carbon-Neutral C Code. Based on an analysis of the C Code application cases, this study proposes measures to enhance practical implementation and develops a dedicated calculation tool to improve consistency and efficiency of carbon emission estimation. By applying the outcomes of this study, the reliability of upfront and embodied carbon emission estimates for mine rehabilitation projects is expected to improve.

한국광해광업공단은 2021년부터 광해방지사업 탄소배출량 산정과 관리를 위하여 전과정 탄소배출량 산정 방법을 개발해왔으며, 2022년에 표준품셈 기반 탄소배출원단위를 광해방지기술기준에 광해방지사업용 탄소중립 C 코드로 수록하였다. 하지만 해당 C 코드 적용 사례 분석 결과, 이를 효과적으로 적용하기 위한 방안을 제시하였으며, 탄소배출량 산정의 일관성과 효율성을 향상시키기 위한 전용 산정 Tool을 개발하였다. 본 연구 결과를 활용하여 광해방지사업에 대한 업프론트 탄소 및 내재 탄소 배출량의 산정의 신뢰도 향상이 기대된다.
