The most basic matter to establish forest carbon circulation village is statistic on greenhouse gas emissions. But currently, although there is statistic on greenhouse gas emissions in the level of city or province, there is not statistic on greenhouse gas emission in village unit. According to the results, The model area is located in Seobyeok-ri, Chunyang-myeon, Bonghwa-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do, the total CO₂ emissions caused by energy used in the model area was 1,755tCO₂. Heating accounts for 55% of total emissions followed by 23% for power and 22% for vehicles. The model area emitted 572tCO₂ due to rice growing and livestock raising, accounting for approximately 24.5% of total CO₂ emissions. It is expected that a reduction of as much as 884tCO₂ emissions will be made from the current 964tCO₂ to a level of 1/12th that amount, or 80tCO₂ by replacing heating energy currently used in the model area with wood bioenergy such as wood chips or pellets. In addition, carbon emission reduction is expected for both heating and power by replacing the power consumption in houses, buildings, and street lights with solar power.
