Abstract

To evaluate the potential value of the major bioenergy crops which are wheat, canola, barley, corn, and sweet potato in Korea, we investigated the production of biomass and calorific value of crops, and also compared input and output factors among bioenergy crops during the cultivation period. There was difference between the biomass values in Agricultural and Forestry statistical yearbook(2006) and the one investigated in this experiment, also there was difference in crops and in species. Among the crops investigated, sweet potato(Jinhongmi, Yulmi) was shown the highest amount of biomass production and corn(Gangdaok) was shown the highest amount of the total biomass which is the total aboveground biomass at harvest. Oilseed canola which is presently a major source of bio-diesel had highest calorific value as $6,673{\sim}6,725cal\;g^{-1}$. Wheat and corn grains which are source of bio-ethanol were in the range of $3,879{\sim}4,317cal\;g^{-1}$. Gangdaok(Corn) produce the highest total calorific value in unit cultivating area among the crops as $8,263kcal\;m^{-2}$. Corn was shown that the input and output factors were the highest level among bioenergy crops during cultivation period. Sweet potato also was shown that output factor was the highest level though its input factors were average level. It is needed to be investigated more crops for collecting the higher potential value of bioenergy production further considering small land area and its effective utilization in Korea.

우리나라 주요 바이오에너지 작물인 밀, 유채, 보리, 옥수수, 고구마를 대상으로 그 에너지화 하는 잠재적 가치를 평가하기 위하여, 바이오매스 생산량과 생산 열량을 조사 분석하였고, 작물재배기간 동안 투입 및 생산요인을 작물간에 분석하였다. 바이오매스 생산량은 작물별 조사한 결과와 농림통계연보에 있는 데이타와는 차이가 있었으며, 특히 작물간 및 품종간에도 차이가 있었다. 본 연구에서는 작물별 직접 조사한 결과를 이용하여 바이오매스량, 총 생산열량 등을 비교분석하였다. 바이오매스 생산량에 대하여 주요 에너지 이용 부위만 고려할 때 고구마가 가장 많았고, 지상부의 곡류부위를 포함한 총 바이오 매스는 옥수수(강다옥)가 많은 것으로 나타났다. 부위별 열량을 비교해 보면 바이오 에탄올의 주 원료가 되는 밀, 옥수수 등은 $3,879{\sim}4,317cal\;g^{-1}$으로 비슷한 값을 보였으나, 바이오 디젤의 주 원료로 사용되는 유지작물인 유채의 씨(에너지 이용부위)는 $6,673{\sim}6,725cal\;g^{-1}$으로 가장 높게 나타났다. 단위면적당 총 생산 열량은 총바이오매스가 가장 많은 옥수수의 강다옥이 $8,263kcal\;m^{-2}$ 으로 가장 높게 나타났다. 옥수수의 경우 영농에 필요한 투입이 가장 많았으며 생산량 가장 많은 것으로 나타났다. 고구마는 투입 요소가 전반적으로 보통임에도 불구하고 생산요인은 높은 것으로 나타났다. 추후 대상작물을 확대하여 조사할 필요가 있으며, 우리나라의 좁은 농경지 면적을 감안하여 효율적 이용 측면도 고려하여 적절한 바이오에너지 작물을 선발할 필요가 있다.
