Abstract

This study was conducted to estimate of the greenhouse gas inventory on forest land at provincial level. The greenhouse gas emissions are calculated according to the K-MRV guidance. We collected activity data from statistical yearbook of forestry and used default emission factors. The annual total $CO_2$ emission in forest land was -58,711Gg $CO_2eq.$ and the annual $CO_2$ emission in loss such as fellings, fuelwood and fire was 19,896Gg $CO_2eq.$ in 2011. The results showed the removals of carbon dioxide in the forest land, it's amount was -38,815Gg $CO_2eq.$ in 2011. Annual net $CO_2$ removal of local forest was highest in Kangwon province in 2011. Our study did not use the many statistics due to exclusion of double counting. There are need complementary activity data and emission factors, and then we will find a way to calculate the greenhouse gas emissions/removals in the near future.

본 연구는 우리나라의 광역지자체의 산림지 온실가스 배출량을 시범산정하기 위해 수행되었다. 온실가스 배출량은 국가 온실가스 인벤토리 산정 지침에 따라 산정하였으며, 이를 위해 임업통계연보 및 산림관련 활동 자료 및 배출계수를 이용하였다. 그 결과 산림지의 2011년 총 배출량은 -58,711Gg $CO_2eq.$, 벌채, 연료재 수집, 산불에 의한 배출량은 19,896Gg $CO_2eq.$로 나타났다. 2011년을 기준으로 산림지에서는 온실가스를 흡수하는 것으로 나타났고, 순 배출량은 -38,815Gg $CO_2eq.$로 나타났다. 광역지자체 별로는 강원도에서 온실가스를 가장 많이 흡수하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 산정결과는 현재 중복산정을 최대한 배제하고자 많은 통계를 활용하지 않은 것으로, 향후 활동자료 및 배출계수 등을 보완하여 산정할 필요가 있을 것으로 사료된다.
