Carbon footprint of three scrapped cable and wire recycling processing plants was analyzed by examining the annual carbon emission and trend for 2009-2011. Among the six greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4, N2O, SF6, HFCs, and PFCs), the annual emission of CO2 was the highest (>95%), while remaining gases only accounted for less than 5% of the total greenhouse gas emission. When analyzing the collected data based on different frontier categories, Category II (greenhouse gas emission indirect caused by electricity consumption) had the highest emission proportion (>57%). It is because the machines used for the physic-mechanical processing procedure require a lot of electricity. In order to do emission inventory accurately and control the electricity consumption, laws or regulations should stimulate electricity consumption to be recorded and monitored separately for each operation permit. It is also recommended to record and monitor electricity consumption of administration area and the manufacturing/processing area separately. Results of this study revealed that the average emission factor for processing recycled cables and wires using a physic-mechanical method was 0.0474±0.0162 tonnes of CO2e per tonne of material processed. If the calculation was based on the amount of products generated, the EF of average greenhouse gases was 0.1613±0.0589 tonnes of CO2e per tonne of plastics, 0.0766±0.0278 tonnes of CO2e per tonne of copper, 1.7891±1.4572 tonnes of CO2e per tonne of aluminum, and 2.1030±1.6937 tonnes of CO2e per tonne of iron.

Objectives:A whole process greenhouse gas emission factor was developed considering the direct greenhouse gas emission from the decomposition of livestock manure provided by the IPCC guidelines and the energy consumption of manure management systems.Methods:Greenhouse gas generated by animal manure management is divided into direct greenhouse gas emission by decomposition of manure and greenhouse gas effect in the entire process due to energy use by operating manure management systems. By obtaining and summing them, the whole process greenhouse gas emission factor for the livestock manure treatment system was calculated.Results and Discussion:Among the pig manure management systems, the greenhouse gas emission factors for composting, purification and liquefaction were calculated as 128 kgCO2-eq./ton, 123 kgCO2-eq./ton, 119 kgCO2-eq./ton, respectively. It was analyzed that 20.7% to 24.1% of greenhouse gas emissions generated in the process of managing manure were due to electricity use. As a result of analyzing the change in the emission factor according to the change in GHG emissions of the national electric power according to the 8th Basic Plan for Electricity Supply and Demand, a change in emission of about 6% was confirmed. Based on the results of this study and analysis of direct GHG emissions from manure management in three major Western European countries, France, Germany, and the Netherlands, based on the manure management emission factor in 2017, GHG emissions of 48.9% to 70% compared to this study in all countries.Conclusions:In the greenhouse gas emission factor for the pig manure management system, the greenhouse gas emission from energy used in the manure management system operation represents a contribution of more than 20%, so improvement of energy efficiency of the manure management system in the future can contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emission. As the GHG emissions of the pig manure management system are expected to change substantially according to the change in the power grid composition ratio according to the 8th Basic Plan for Electricity Supply and Demand, it is necessary to study the application plan in preparation for the implementation of product environmental footprint certification for livestock products in the future. As a result of comparing direct GHG emissions by manure management with major Western European countries, the difference in emissions was found to be large, suggesting the need to develop a Tier 2 emission factor suitable for the situation in Korea.

Applying the methodology of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in calculating the greenhouse gas emission from pig farming operations at Lam Dong province in 2015, calculated results show that the application of swine manure management solutions can significantly reduce emissions of greenhouse gases into the environment. Using of energy in pig farming operations around 0.0007 tCO2 emissions/ head/ month, the digestion of pig feed create a greenhouse gas emission at around 152.96 tCO2/month with emission factor of 0.0029 tCO2/head / month. Greenhouse gases emitted from the current manure management system (manure are treated by various forms and the rest will directly disposed into the environment) into the atmosphere is around 400.08tCO2/month, respectively a pig emitted about 0.0076 tCO2/head/month. The total emission factor during pig production under the scenarios: (1) manure are directly discharged into the environment, (2) manure are managed by current management system, (3) manure are managed by current management systems with the gas generated from biogas recovery is converted into electrical energy and (4) manure are managed by Biogas recovery system, respectively 0.0593; 0.0112; 0.0101; 0.0077 tCO2/ head/month.

Emissions Trading System

This article presents the application of benchmarks of greenhouse gas emission for free allocations between installations (plants) in the promising emission trading system in Ukraine. The basic concepts and definitions, as well as the principles of approach applied to the development of benchmarks are presented. The summarized data on the calculated values of benchmarks in comparison with values that are accepted now in the European emission trading system are resulted. Certain differences in the construction and application of benchmarks in Ukraine and the EU, caused by the structure and state of economy, as well as the characteristics of the industries covered by the system are analyzed. Certain limitations are specified, first of all in the presence of required basic data which cause the necessity of recalculation. We performed an assessment of the introduction of free allocation for greenhouse gas emissions in the production of electricity at coal-fired power plants in Ukraine with using specific CO2 emission factors. The calculations were carried out under the condition of technical re-equipment of thermal power units with increase in their efficiency and under the condition of absence of re-equipment. We also compared the estimates obtained on the basis of a predetermined emission control indicator for coal-fired power plants with the European level and calculated the volume of free allocation of quotas for Ukrainian thermal power plants based on the results of their activities.

Business As Usual

Climate change in Indonesia is receiving a lot of concern as the nation is the top ten world largest emitter of the greenhouse gases. To relieve the concern, Indonesia had proposed to cut the gas emissions by 26 percent by 2020 from business-as-usual (BAU) levels and proposed a 41 percent emission reduction below BAU target conditional to international support for Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs). This study deals with the strategy in reducing the acceleration of the greenhouse gas emission from the power sector in Southeast Sulawesi, a developing province in Indonesia with its high electricity demand in recent years. It calculates of the annual greenhouse emission from the electricity generation mix in this province, using the projected annual electricity generation and projected power plants installed under the power supply business plan (RPUTL) of the state electricity company (PLN Indonesia) and the lifecycle carbon dioxide emission equivalent. Some scenarios are proposed, by varying the power generation mix in the case of inclusion and exclusion the projected clean renewable powers in the year of 2020 and 2022. The result shows that in 2020, by the inclusion of the projected clean renewable powers in the power generation mix (around 5 percent), it can reduce the annual greenhouse gas emission almost 6 percent. In 2022, by maintaining the amount of the power generation from fossil sources as those in 2020 and maximizing the use of the clean powers in the electricity generation mix (around 20 percent), under the power provision plan, it can reduce the emission by 26 percent.
