Description

Carbon emission trading service using waste metal resource recycling {SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING CERTIFIED EMISSION REDUCTION TRADING SERVICE USING SCRAP METAL RECYCLING}

The present invention relates to a system for providing a carbon credit trading service using waste metal resource recycling. After issuing carbon credits based on the amount of carbon emissions reduced by recycling waste metal resources, the carbon credits are traded or converted into points. It provides a system that allows you to exchange it for a gold bar.

With the official entry into force of the Kyoto Protocol in 2005, the Emission Trading Scheme (ETS) is being implemented and expanded in many countries including the European Union (EU), the United States and China. There are a total of 24 carbon credit markets in operation around the world, and among them, the European Union, New Zealand, the United States, Korea, and China can be cited as representative markets. The EU formed the carbon credits market through the first phase of the carbon emission trading system, which is a pilot phase, and the market size continues to grow as the second and third phases have passed and the fourth phase has continued. , the Chicago Climate Exchange, the Western Climate Initiative, and the Climate Action Reserve. As the new climate system was launched after the Paris Agreement, Korea also has a reduction obligation as a target country. status has been

At this time, a platform for trading carbon credits obtained through energy saving was researched and developed. In this regard, prior art Korean Patent Publication No. 2013-0123935 (published on November 13, 2013) and Korean Patent Publication No. 2021-0073185 (Released on June 18, 2021) evaluates the power consumption of lighting fixtures used in rental terminals to calculate carbon credits that can be secured, and carbon credits corresponding to energy saved by renting and replacing lighting fixtures with LED lamps is financed through the carbon credits exchange to issue carbon credits according to the amount of carbon generated by using a configuration that allows payment of the rental cost of LED lamps and a catalytic converter mounted on vehicles to purify exhaust gas. A configuration for providing a platform for exchanging emission permits into currency and enabling sale and purchase is disclosed.

However, in the former case, the cost and carbon emissions required for changing lighting fixtures were not considered, and in the latter case, if carbon credits can be bought and sold with money, data may be manipulated or data not accurately measured to generate carbon credits may be submitted. Chances are higher. Korea imports 99% of its metal minerals from abroad, and recycling metal minerals that have already been smelted using waste metal resources can be more effective in reducing carbon emissions than collecting metal from minerals and using them through a smelting process. there is. In particular, in the Korean carbon credits market, which is suffering from an imbalance in the supply and demand of carbon credits, linking the carbon credits market between individuals and companies and between countries is being discussed as an attractive alternative for activating transactions through market size and mitigating the cost of reducing domestic companies.

Before describing FIG. 2, terms related to carbon will be explained, and the mechanism of the carbon credits market in Korea will be explained. The basic concepts described below will not be repeatedly described in FIG. 2 .

<Terms related to carbon>

Carbon neutral Reducing emissions from human activities as much as possible and increasing absorption to reduce net emissions to zero, in order to prevent an increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Net-Zero A state in which net emissions of the six major greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbon, perfluorocarbon, and sulfur hexafluoride) become '0'. A superordinate concept that includes carbon neutrality, which sets the net emission of carbon dioxide to '0'. Carbon Tax It is a tax imposed on the use of fossil energy such as coal and oil that emits greenhouse gases. It was first introduced in Finland in 1990, and is currently being implemented in more than 50 countries including Switzerland and Sweden. A tax paid according to carbon emissions generated from energy use in the manufacturing process, etc. Carbon Unit Price unit cost component
Processing 1 Mining, beneficiation, smelting (coal, oil, gas) -> metal (value)
Processing 2 waste metal (oil, gas, electricity) -> recycled metal (value)
Processing cost 1 = average (energy consumption + greenhouse gas emissions)...
Processing cost 2 = average (energy consumption + greenhouse gas emissions)...
Carbon reduction cost = Processing cost 1 - Processing cost 2 Certified Emission Reduction Carbon credits are the right to emit greenhouse gases that cause and aggravate global warming, and companies that are allocated emission rights are obliged to use greenhouse gases within the allocated range. Surplus or insufficient credits can be traded on the market Carbon Credits When a company usually purchases carbon credits from the government, they obtain a permit to generate one ton of CO2 emissions. With carbon credits, carbon revenue flows vertically from companies to regulators, but companies that end up with excess credits can sell them to other companies. Carbon Disclosure Projects CDP is an environmental and non-profit organization established in December 2000 with the support of the British government and 35 European institutional investors. Contributing to the transition to a low-carbon economy by providing investors with collected and analyzed information.
As of 2022, more than 600 financial institutions (operating assets of $113 trillion) around the world participate as signatories, and more than 13,000 companies, accounting for 64% of the global market value, are disclosing carbon information through CDP.

One embodiment of the present invention, among the carbon information provided to the CDP, can help carbon reduction information through recycling of metals and the like. It can also contribute to the transition to a low-carbon economy through carbon trading between companies.

<Compulsory use of recycled raw materials>

The global market following carbon neutrality is making efforts to transition to a low-carbon economy by introducing mandatory use of renewable raw materials and imposing taxes. As a result, taxes are imposed on imported pure raw plastic products, which is affecting the tariff barriers in the carbon neutral era.

<Carbon Fund>

It refers to a fund that secures carbon credits (CER) by investing in projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and earns profits by selling them in the emission trading market. Internationally operated carbon funds are largely divided into public funds and private funds depending on the formation of the fund. That is, in the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, etc., the government operates independently, and the Asian Carbon Fund (ACF) is operated in the form of a pure private fund. The Standard Carbon Fund (PCF) operated by the World Bank and the Japanese Carbon Fund are representative forms of public-private hybrid funds.

The Carbon Fund is a tool to solve the Clean Development Mechanism, which has become a major policy task in advanced countries after the Kyoto Protocol took effect, through financial investment. After raising funds from investors in the financial market to create a fund, the investment is invested in a greenhouse gas reduction project and the profits generated from this are returned to investors. The main source of revenue is the sale of greenhouse gas emission rights generated as a result of the greenhouse gas reduction project. .

<Korea Emissions Market Operating Mechanism>

Emissions trading is classified according to the planning period and (obligation) fulfillment year. The planning period of the emissions trading system is basically composed of 5-year units, and as of 2022, it is the third planning period (2021-2025). However, considering that in 2017, the opening period of the Emissions Exchange is only about 2 years and 11 months, which is the initial implementation period, the 1st planning period (2015-2017) and 2nd planning period (2018-2020) are each 3 operated on an annual basis. For the three planning periods, there are three types of emission permits traded in the Korean emission permit market: KAU, KCU, and KOC. The type of emission permits allocated by the state and subject to submission is referred to as allocated emission permits, that is, KAU (Korean Allowance Unit). And the number written after KAU means the implementation year. One unit of KAU corresponds to 1 ton of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e), and quota allowances (KAU) corresponding to ton of carbon dioxide equivalent generated in the implementation year are submitted to the competent authority.

Meanwhile, in order to secure flexibility in the submission of emission permits, emission permits other than KAU, such as KCU and KOC, are listed and traded in the emission permit market. KCU (Korean Credit Unit) is an offset credit, which is an emission credit obtained by converting the certified performance of an external project by a company subject to allocation of emission allowances in accordance with Article 29 of the Act on Allocation and Trading of Greenhouse Gas Emission Credits. At this time, external projects mean general external projects and Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects. A general external project is a GHG reduction project conducted outside the organizational boundary of the target company in a way that allows measurement, reporting, and verification that meets international standards. On the other hand, the CDM project means a clean development project according to Article 12 of the Kyoto Protocol, and the certified performance through the project is called CER (Certified Emission Reduction). At this time, the implementer of the CDM project and the CER buyer can convert the CER into KCU and use it to fulfill the obligation submission. KCU has a one-to-one (1KAU=1KCU) exchange rate with KAU, but there are limitations such as the need for conversion application from the allocation target company and the approval of the competent authority, and the fact that it is possible to submit to KCU within 10% of the amount of emission credits submitted for each implementation period. exist. Meanwhile, unlike KAU, KCU's listing period is flexible, and offset credits are classified based on the conversion period.

Another type of emission credit, KOC (Korean Offset Credit), refers to greenhouse gas reduction credits issued through external projects as certified results of external projects in accordance with Article 30 of the Act on Allocation and Trading of Greenhouse Gas Emission Credits. This refers to the greenhouse gas reduction performance certified by the government in accordance with international standards outside the business site of the allocation target company, other than the allocation target companies that are obliged to submit emission permits. Prior to the listing of KOC on the Korea Exchange, there was a structure in which companies subject to allocation purchased KOC held by external operators over-the-counter and converted it to KCU, but after KOC was listed on the Korea Exchange on May 23, 2016, exchange trading became possible. .

According to the National Emissions Allocation Plan, as the implementation year within the first plan period continues, the total amount of KAU, which is the allocation, is reduced by 2% each, and a plan is being established to reduce the pre-allocation amount according to the implementation year. However, there is a difference between the planned pre-allocation for each implementation year presented by the Ministry of Environment and the actual quota, and unlike the existing plan, the actual quota increases from year to year. This may cause time inconsistency of the policy, resulting in weakening the reliability of the policy. On the other hand, comparing the actual allocation of allowances and emissions, in the case of 2015, the actual emissions were higher than the actual allocation of allowances, but in 2016, the reverse was shown. By industry, in the case of power generation/energy, cement, non-ferrous metals, ceramics, and aviation, the actual emissions exceeded the actual quotas in both 2015 and 2016. On the other hand, in the case of the petrochemical, semiconductor, display, telecommunications, water supply, and waste industries, emissions were higher than the quota in 2015, but reversed to less than the quota in 2016. For the remaining industries, it was analyzed that the actual emissions fell below the actual quotas in both 2015 and 2016.

Referring to FIG. 2 based on the above-described basic concept, the database integrator 310 includes at least one kind of waste metal resource, carbon emissions reduced when recycling at least one waste metal resource, and carbon credits corresponding to the carbon emission amount. can be mapped and stored. The metal is supplied by mining production and recycling recovered metal. Mining, beneficiation and smelting, like other industrial sectors, are under pressure to reduce energy and carbon emissions. These pressures allow the application of life cycle assessment (LCA) methodologies for most metal production life cycles. LCA can be performed for the mining and mineral processing of gold, silver, copper, copper, iron ore, bauxite and copper ore.

It is important to analyze the phases of mining and mineral processing that affect energy and greenhouse gas emissions. For mining, drilling and blasting processes are required. At this time, proper drilling and blasting technology can save energy. In the case of underground mining, ventilation and drainage work to supply air is carried out in parallel. Blasted rock is transported to the treatment plant mainly by diesel engine equipment, and diesel technology has an energy intensity that accounts for 87% of the total energy consumed in material treatment. Crushing is the process of reducing the size of material from mines into coarse particles, and crushing into fine particles. The crushing and crushing plant is powered by an electric motor using a local diesel engine generator. Separation of mining materials is primarily carried out by physical rather than chemical separation. For iron ore, screening is the most common way to separate ore by size. On the other hand, magnet separation is used to separate magnetite from gangue. The continuation of the mineral industry is about managing this cycle to maximize value to society while minimizing negative economic, social and environmental impacts.

<LCA>

LCA is a relatively new methodology used to objectively assess the environmental impact of various activities, productions and processes. LCA deals with the continuum of products or processes from the creation of natural resources or the acquisition of raw materials to their final disposal. The entire product life cycle usually consists of three stages: cradle to inlet (raw material mining to smelting), inlet to outlet (product manufacturing), and outlet to grave (product use, recycling and disposal). Based on the life cycle, it is possible to identify greenhouse gas emissions related to energy consumption in mining and beneficiation. In other words, LCA calculates environmental load, which refers to resource consumption and environmental emissions such as water pollutants, air pollutants, and waste, caused by products including services during the entire product life cycle, and the impact on the environment. It is a tool to systematically assess potential impacts. Regarding LCA, there are a total of two formal ISO standards (International Standards, IS). In addition, to supplement the IS, there are two technical reports (TR) and one technical specification (TS) standard.

For example, in a study of the entire process of mining and mineral processing, the energy consumption was 153 MJ/t for iron ore, 55 MJ/t for bauxite, and 8,329 MJ/t for copper ore, and the global warming potential for iron ore and bauxite was found. If the site shows 11.9kg CO2e/t and 4.9kg CO2e/t, respectively, while copper ore is 628kg CO2e/t, the greenhouse gas emissions per unit weight of iron ore, bauxite, and copper ore can be estimated. As such, the mining unit of minerals is large and cannot be measured in units such as grams (g), so estimating the amount of carbon emissions required to process a unit gram after collecting various data is the best method currently possible. Accordingly, by using the difference between the amount of carbon emitted from mining and mineral processing of metals of various unit weights and the amount of carbon emitted from recycling metals of various unit weights, a small amount of waste products emitted by each individual Calculate the difference in carbon emissions for each metal. At this time, valuables from one mobile phone and valuables from one PC may be as shown in Tables 2 and 3 below.

Valuables total gold silver palladium rhodium copper cobalt content 41.67g 0.04g 0.2g 0.03g 0.002g 14g 27.4g

Valuables total gold silver copper scrap metal aluminum plastic content 8.1kg 0.6g 5g 100g 5,000g 1,000 grams 2,000g

When processing of waste metal resources is requested from the user terminal 100, the calculation unit 320 may calculate carbon emissions reduced by recycling the waste metal resources. When the user terminal 100 requests processing of waste metal resources including metal raw materials and obtains carbon credits corresponding to carbon emissions reduced by recycling the waste metal resources, it may request transaction mediation of carbon credits. Metal raw materials include rare metals other than gold, silver, copper, and copper, and rare metals include tin, zinc, lead, platinum, nickel, vanadium, manganese, indium, chromium, molybdenum, titanium, tungsten, cerium, cadmium, and lithium. , potassium, tantalum, niobium and rare earths. However, it is not limited to those listed, and reasons not listed are not excluded.

The provider 330 may provide carbon credits corresponding to the calculated carbon emissions to the user terminal 100 . At this time, a price determination system for carbon credits must be established so that points can be paid later or transaction prices can be set for trading carbon credits themselves. At this time, the EU ETS (European Union Emissions Trading Scheme) pricing system exists. For each EU ETS phase, EUA (European Union Allowance) spot prices or futures/forward prices are used as dependent variables to conduct empirical analysis. there is. In the case of the EU ETS, there is a derivatives market for EUAs, and transactions in the derivatives market account for most of the total trading volume, so EUA spot and futures prices are selectively utilized. Major market fundamentals for the EUA pricing system4) can be largely classified into emission market variables, energy price variables, economic situation variables, temperature variables, and institutional variables. EUA price lag variables and CER (Certified Emission Reduction) issuance volume are used as emission market variables.

Energy price variables include natural gas price, coal price, oil price, conversion price, CDS (Clean Dark Spread), CSS (Clean Spark Spread), conversion price, electricity price, and renewable energy generation (Renewable Energy Source-Electricity. RES- E) and the like. At this time, CDS is the value obtained by subtracting the cost of coal-fired power generation from the cost of electricity, which is the cost excluding the cost of carbon and coal from the cost of electricity, and CSS is the cost of gas-fired power generation (the sum of the cost of carbon and natural gas) from the cost of electricity. means subtracted value. Economic situation variables include FTSE 350, FTSE Eurotop 100, Euro Stoxx 50, STOXX Europe 600 index, Economic Sentiment Index (ESI), industrial production, etc., as well as binomial variables to analyze the effects of the EUA price plunge and the global financial crisis. etc. can also be applied comprehensively. In the case of temperature variables, the maximum/minimum/average temperature, precipitation, extreme weather, etc. may be individually indexed and used, or HDD/CDD may be used. In the case of institutional variables, compliance and verification, bans on the use of certain CERs, Energy Efficiency Directive proposals, backloading policies, structural measures to strengthen EU ETS, Emissions Trading Scheme, Europe This may include first and second rounds of voting related to parliamentary backloading. Most institutional variables can be used to provide implications for policy uncertainty.

Considering the above-mentioned emission permit market analysis, in an embodiment of the present invention, it is decided to build a model for price setting in Korea. Currently, companies participating in the domestic emission market are focusing on cost minimization rather than profit maximization. In other words, companies selected as companies subject to allocation, which are obligatory participants in the emissions trading system, have a strong tendency to participate in the emission permits market for the purpose of complying with the mandatory submission of emission permits and avoiding the payment of fines, and there is a strong tendency to participate in the emission permits market as a means of maximizing profits. Movement is relatively small. In this process, fluctuations in the price of emission permits and trading volume occur remarkably at a time adjacent to the time of mandatory submission of emission permits. In addition, the cost function faced by companies is determined by the target emission reduction amount for each company, and the reduction target amount for each company is calculated based on the BAU (Business-As-Usual, Emission Projection Value) of the entire country. In other words, based on the emission projections for each implementation year calculated on the national reduction roadmap, the amount of emission reduction for each sector subject to allocation is determined, which affects the amount of mandatory emission reduction for companies within the sector. Therefore, the cost function faced by companies in the emission permits market can be set as a function of the KAU, KCU, KOC price, transaction volume and reduction target used for compliance with the emission permits submission, and can be expressed as in Equation 1 below.

Here, A is the company's emission reduction target, BAU=g(k,h,l,m), p=(p1,p2,p3), p1 is KAU price, p2 is KCU price, p3 is KOC price, q= (q1,q2,q3), q1 is the KAU trading volume, q2 is the KCU trading volume, q3 is the KOC trading volume, k=(k1,k2,k3,k4), k1 is the Dubai oil price, k2 is the call rate, and k3 is the US dollar exchange rate , k4 is the KOSPI index, h=(h1,h2), h1 is the electricity price (SMP), h2 is the daily average power generation unit performance (power consumption), l=(l1,l2), l1 is the HDD index, and l2 is CDD The index, m, is a dummy variable related to the system.

At this time, the empirical analysis model of the Korean emissions market pricing system can be constructed by comprehensively considering the emission market operating mechanism and theoretical model. Specifically, with the KAU1 price as a dependent variable, the autoregressive term (AR) of KAU price and trading volume, KCU and KOC price and trading volume, internal and external economic environmental variables such as oil price, interest rate, exchange rate, stock price, electricity price and usage variable, HDD It is possible to set up a basic model with institutional dummy variables such as temperature variables such as (Heating Degree Days, Heating Index) and CDD (Cooling Degree Days, Cooling Degree Days), and institutional dummy variables for the inspection and certification structure as explanatory variables.

The mediation unit 340 may mediate a transaction of carbon credits when the user terminal 100 requests mediation of a transaction of carbon credits. At this time, the mediation unit 340 may mediate a direct transaction between the transaction terminal 400 and the user terminal 100, or may take a form of purchase and sale in which a purchase is made on a platform and then sold in bulk. In the latter case, it can be converted into points, a commodity that can be used on the platform of the present invention, and an exchange rate between [carbon credits: points] may exist, and this exchange rate may be continuously changed according to market prices.

<Carbon Point>

It connects the carbon point system and the emission trading market, enabling accumulation and trading of carbon reduction results. The carbon point system is a system that provides benefits such as discounts and exemptions on public facility usage fees by providing points according to the amount of greenhouse gas reduction by the government and companies. If efforts are made to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, such as doing so, the government and companies provide points equal to the amount of greenhouse gas reduction, and benefits such as discounts and reductions in public facility usage fees or benefits that can be used like cash, such as public transportation or water and electricity bill payment give. Each household can know how much carbon dioxide is emitted in daily life by knowing only the carbon dioxide emission factor and usage by energy source.

Emission Factors by Energy Source electricity 1 kWh = 0.424 kgCO2 waterworks 1m3 = 0.587kgCO2 city gas 1m3 = 2.347kgCO2 LP gas 1m3 = 6.6kgCO2

<Carbon Cash Back>

When a low-carbon product or an electronic product with high energy efficiency is purchased, carbon points are given to the purchaser, which can be used for public transportation, water, or electricity bill payment. Buyers who use carbon cashback distributors or stores can earn carbon points, which can be used like cash at carbon cashback member stores, and can also be used to purchase train tickets.

<Eco Mileage System>

It is a citizen participation program implemented by Seoul City for environmental protection. It is a compound word of eco, which means eco-friendliness, and mileage, which means accumulation of reserves, etc., and responds to climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions through voluntary environmental protection practices. It is a citizen participation program. Various benefits are provided to selected individuals and organizations that have contributed to environmental protection, such as saving electricity, water, and city gas in the form of mileage. Citizens who wish to participate sign up for the Eco Mileage website to collect and manage monthly electricity, water, and city gas (including district heating) usage. The collected energy consumption can be checked every 6 months.

Households that have reduced GHG emissions by 10% or more in two or more of the monthly average electricity, water, and gas for 6 months compared to the standard usage (the last 2 years), and schools, apartment complexes, and commercial buildings with excellent reduction performance compared to the standard usage (70 selected) to provide incentives to be reinvested in low-carbon activities. Up to 50,000 points are paid twice a year, and the points received can be used like cash at affiliated merchants, and benefits such as deduction of mobile communication charges and apartment management fees can be obtained. Meanwhile, the eco-mileage system is currently implemented only in Seoul, and a similar system, the Carbon Point system, is being implemented nationwide.

The comparator 350, when creating a database of reduced carbon emissions, can calculate the reduced carbon emissions by comparing the case of refining waste metal resources to recycle and the case of extracting and refining minerals from general minerals. . When the waste disposal calculation unit 360 databases the amount of carbon emissions to be reduced, it also databases energy consumed for processing wastes including impurities and by-products generated in the process of extracting and refining minerals from general minerals, The amount of carbon emissions reduced by not consuming energy can be calculated and added to the amount of reduced carbon emissions.

The gold refund unit 370, when the user terminal 100 sells carbon credits, accumulates gold points that can be used in the transaction service providing server 300 in the account of the user terminal 100 and provides transaction services. The gold bar registered in the server 300 can be purchased with gold points. At this time, it can be used as cash, donation, discount coupon, etc., not limited to gold bars.

The weighting unit 380 may assign different weights according to the type of at least one metal when creating a database of carbon emissions to be reduced. The market price reflection unit 390 may update databased data to increase or decrease according to the amount of reserves, depletion rate, demand, and supply of at least one metal when calculating the amount of carbon emission to be reduced. When the foreign currency revenue generation unit 391 purchases carbon credits from the user terminal 100 in a transaction service providing server, the carbon credits may be sold to at least one company in at least one country.

When the user terminal 100 requests processing of waste metal resources including metal raw materials, the visit refusal unit 393 transmits the type, quantity, and collection location of the waste metal resources to at least one engineer terminal to perform visit collection work. can be assigned At this time, the waste metal resources including metal raw materials include at least one electronic product used in the waste metal resource recycling project (Urban Mining Project), and at least one electronic product includes desktops, monitors, TVs, laptops, and mobile phones. It may be a product that contains

The visit refusal unit 393 may check the electronic product that is a warehousing product when the electronic product is collected by door-to-door collection or sent by courier. At this time, as in Korea Patent Registration No. 10-2057539 (published on December 19, 2019), which is a prior registered patent of the present applicant, a two-dimensional barcode such as a QR code may be used, or a one-dimensional barcode such as a barcode may be used. . When an electronic product is registered in the user terminal 100, since the type and model name of the electronic product have already been entered, when a one-dimensional or two-dimensional barcode is scanned or read by the visit refusal unit 393, which electronic product and finally It is possible to classify according to which valuables are to be extracted. It may be more effective to shred electronic products with various types and components at once rather than to distinguish them one by one. can be performed. For example, iron scraps, wires, and non-ferrous metals can be sorted according to the sorting method, and sorting by color or material of plastics to increase the value of valuables is also possible through optical sorting. However, in order to make the process suitable for the situation of the processing company, costs other than the process, such as the unit price of valuables, processing capacity, and labor cost, can also be considered.

In addition, in the platform of the present invention, if the electronic product requested to be discharged from the user terminal 100 is a product with a memory, and the electronic product requested to be discharged from the user terminal 100 is operable, the purchase unit price is set so that gold points are paid. , at least one data stored in the memory can be controlled to be deleted. This is based on the assumption that the electronic product is operating. If it does not operate, the above-described operation is not executed on the premise that the memory or hard disk is physically shredded. Most individuals cannot easily sell their old cell phone back to the store while purchasing a new cell phone. This is because mobile phones contain the private life of each individual. Recently, with reports that each store employee sold and handed over personal information regarding returned mobile phones as device compensation, the perception that factory resetting is not safe is strongly entrenched.

Accordingly, the platform of the present invention can use complete deletion technology. The complete deletion technology can be largely divided into hardware and software aspects. The former means that a strong magnetic field is applied to the storage medium to damage it or to cause physical damage through an electrical method. In this case, since the storage medium cannot be reused, it can be mainly used when the storage medium is discarded. The latter is a method of logically deleting the storage medium without physical damage, and makes data unrecoverable by repeatedly overwriting the area of the storage medium in which data is stored. The current software complete deletion method is a complete deletion tool, and if the complete deletion technology is used, personal information can be protected and confidential data can be prevented from being exposed.
