Abstract

LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) carried out to estimate carbon footprint and to establish of LCI (Life Cycle Inventory) database of rice production system. The results of collecting data for establishing LCI D/B showed that organic fertilizer and chemical fertilizer input to 4.29E-01 kg $kg^{-1}$ rice and 2.30E-01 kg $kg^{-1}$ rice for rice cultivation. It was the highest value among input for rice cultivation. And direct field emission was 3.23E-02 kg $kg^{-1}$ during rice cropping. The results of LCI analysis focussed on greenhouse gas (GHG) was showed that carbon footprint was 8.70E-01 kg $CO_2$-eq. $kg^{-1}$ rice. Especially for 80% of $CO_2$ in the GHG and 7.02E-01 kg of its $CO_2$-eq. $kg^{-1}$ rice. Of the GHG emission $CH_4$, and $N_2O$ were estimated to be 13% and 5%, respectively. With LCIA (Life Cycle Impact Assessment) for rice cultivation system, it was observed that fertilizer process might be contributed to approximately 80% of GWP (global warming potential).

농산물 탄소성적표지제도 도입을 위한 농업분야 LCI database에 대한 연구를 위하여 쌀의 생산체계를 대상으로 전과정평가를 수행하였다. LCI 구축을 위한 영농 투입물과 산출물에 대한 데이터결과 유기질비료와 복합비료가 각각 4.29E-01 kg $kg^{-1}$ rice, 2.30E-01 kg $kg^{-1}$ rice으로 영농단계에서 가장 높은 투입량을 보였고, 영농단계에서 발생하는 직접대기배출물이 3.23E-02 kg $kg^{-1}$ rice의 배출값을 나타내었다. 쌀생산체계에서 발생하는 온실가스를 중심으로 전과정 목록분석을 수행한 결과 탄소성적값은 8.70E-01 kg $CO_2$-eq. $kg^{-1}$ rice이었다. 이 중 $CO_2$가 7.02E-01 kg $CO_2$-eq. $kg^{-1}$ rice로 온실가스 발생의 약 80%가 $CO_2$였고, $CH_4$과 $N_2O$의 배출량은 각각 13%, 5%의 비중을 차지하였다. 전과정 영향평가 결과 지구온난화에 기여하는 주요인자는 유기질비료 생산 공정이 42%, 무기질비료 생산공정이 40%로 비료생산공정에 의한 비중이 가장 높았다.
