Abstract

This study was reviewed on the bioethanol production from biomass resources and feedstock supply in America. U.S. Department of Energy (USDE) and the u.s. Department of Agriculture USDA) are both strongly committed to expand the role of biomass as an energy source. They support biomass fuels and products as a way to reduce the need for oil and gas imports, to strengthen the nation's energy security and environmental quality. And it was envisioned a 20 percent replacement of the current U.S.transportation fuel consumption in 2030. Also it was reviewed policies to encourage the expanding of Bio-based fuel use to replace gasoline, such as Clean Air Act, Federal Clean Fuel Program and American Jobs Creation Act. In feedstock supply it was assumed forest biomass will be supplied in 368 million dry tons yearly and the agriculture derived biomass adopted by new technologies and land use change will be supplied in 998 million dry tons, including highly 818 million dry tons of lignocellulosic biomass such as perenial crops (hybrid trees, grasses) corn stover, other crop residues. This amount is 5 times to the amount from based current agricultural technology and crop land.

최근 미국 에너지 시장에서 수송용 바이오연료 생산과 바이오매스자원으로부터의 원료공급 가능성 등에 대하여 조사 연구되었다. 미국의 국가에너지정책의 1차 목표는 수입원유에 대한 의존을 줄이고 다양한 국내자원으로 에너지생산을 증가시키는 것으로 2030년에는 현재 수송용 에너지의 20%를 바이오연료로 대체할 목표이다. 정책적으로 청정공기법령(Clean Air Act), 연방청정연료(Federal Clean Fuel) 프로그램 및 American Jobs Creation Act를 통하여 바이오연료 사용을 증가시키는 노력을 하고 있다. 에너지 원료로서 산림바이오매스는 년간 3억 6800만 dry tons, 농업에서 얻어지는 원료는 현재의 BT기술을 이용한 작물품종 및 경작기술 개발, 농지사용 변화를 기반으로 했을 때 년 간 총 9억 9800만 dry tons이고 이중에서 목질계 바이오매스는 8억 1800만 dry tons이다 현재의 농업상황에서 생산되는 량의 5배에 해당하는 바이오매스 공급가능성이 예측되었다.
