Abstract

It is time to develop new renewable energy that could fundamentally replace fossil fuel, which has been increasingly needed due to environmental pollution and energy security. Korean marine bio-energy development project is planned to produce 50% of total bioenergy. This study attempts to measure the greenhouse gas emission reduction benefits of marine bio-energy development project through contingent valuation method. Single bounded dichotomous choice (SBDC) is applied with spike model. The results show that the average willingness to pay are estimated to be KRW 4,190 at SBDC, per household per year. If the result has been expanded to the region which is survey conducted, KRW 50.1 billion annually. These quantitative information can be usefully utilized in the cost benefit analysis to implement project and policy-making for the industrialization of marine bio-energy development project.

환경문제가 심각해지고, 에너지안보에 대한 관심이 높아지면서 화석연료를 대체할 신재생에너지개발은 더욱 절실해지고 있다. 정부는 2030년까지 바이오에너지부분의 50%를 해양바이오에너지에서 생산한다는 계획을 발표하였다. 본 연구는 해양바이오에너지 개발사업으로 인하여 저감되는 온실가스의 저감편익을 조건부가치측정법을 이용하여 추정하고자 한다. 단일경계 양분선택형 모형에 스파이크 모형을 적용하였으며, 그 결과 해양바이오에너지 개발사업의 온실가스 저감편익은 단일경계 양분선택형에서는 가구당 평균 지불의사액이 4,190원으로 추정되었다. 이를 설문을 진행한 지역으로 확장하면 연간 501억원에 달한다. 이와 같은 연구결과는 해양바이오에너지 개발사업의 시행여부를 결정하는 비용편익분석이나 해양바이오에너지 개발사업정책에 있어서 편익의 유용한 정보로 활용할 수 있다.
