The purpose of this study is to develop a theoretical framework to analyze the social processes of embedding new technologies, among others, green technologies, in society, and based on this, to identify problems and challenges in introducing and assimilating biogas technologies in local communities in Korea. Chapter Two strives to develop a framework to analyze the social processes of embedding new technologies in society. A couple of key concepts such as technology community, technology learning and technology politics are introduced and discussed. Chapter Three and Four examine the problems arising from the social processes of embedding biogas plant technologies in local communities in Korea and tries to suggest policy options to tackle these problems.

Recently, several studies have been conducted on biogas and organic compost production using food waste in an anaerobic digester. In this study, basic experiments were conducted to produce biogas and compost by fermenting food wastes with microbial agents. First, a microbial agent was developed by combining various microorganisms. Then, the amount of generated biogas was identified through a food waste batch experiment. Further, we could maximize and demonstrate biogas production in an anaerobic digester by examining biogas production and composting in a pilot plant.

Hydrogen production from biogas has received consistent attention due to the great potential to solve simultaneously the issues of energy demands and environmental problems. Practically, biomethane produced by purification/upgrading of biogas can be a good alternative to the natural gas which is a main reactant for a steam methane reforming process. Judging from the economic and environmental impacts, however, the steam biogas and dry reforming are considered to be more effective routes for hydrogen production because both processes do not require the carbon dioxide elimination step. Herein, we highlight recent studies of hydrogen production via reforming processes using biogas and effective applications for earlier commercialization.

Biogasification is a technology that uses organic wastes to reproduce as environmental fuels containing methane gas. Biogasification has attracted worldwide attention because it can produce renewable-energy and stable land treatment with prohibit from landfilling and ocean dumping of organic waste. Biomethane is produced by refining biogas. It is injected into natural gas pipeline or used transportation fuel such as cars and buses. 90 bio-gasification facilities are operating in 2016, and methane gas production is very low due to it is limited to organic wastes such as food waste, animal manure, and sewage sludge. There are seven domestic biomethane manufacturing facilities, and the use of high value-added such as transport fuels and city-gas through upgrading biogas should be expanded. On the other hand, the rapid biogasification of organic wastes in domestic resulted in frequent breakdowns of facilities and low efficiency problems. Therefore, the problem is improving as technical guidance, design and operational technical guidance is developed and field experience is accumulated. However, while improvements in biogas production are being made, there is a problem with low utilization. In this study, the problems of biomethane manufacturing facilities were identified in order to optimize the production and utilization of biogas from organic waste resources. Also, in order to present the design and operation guideline of the gas pretreatment and the upgrading process, we will investigate precision monitoring, energy balance and economic analysis and solutions for on-site problems by facility.

The potential of using the biogas as energy source has long been widely recognised and current techniques are being developed to upgrade the technical quality and to enhance energy efficiency. The objective of this paper is to present efficient and effective pre-treatment methods of increasing the amount of produced biogas in anaerobic digestion of activated sludge treatment process. The paper also presents a review of the effect on biogas production between pre-treated and raw sludge, and also put forward the advantages and disadvantages of each pre-treatment method.

This study presents a novel approach to hydrogen production by biogas from organic waste without CO₂ removal. A process model was developed to reduce the costs associated with biogas pretreatment and purification processes. Through optimization of heat exchange networks, the simulation aimed to minimize process costs, maximizing hydrogen production and flue gas temperature. The results reveal that the most efficient process model maximizes the flue gas temperature while following the constraint of the number of heat exchangers. These findings hold promise for contributing to the expansion of "Biogas-to-clean hydrogen" energy conversion technology.

바이오매스는 에너지 위기 및 $CO_2$에 의한 지구온난화 및 화석자원의 고갈이 진행되면서, 화석연료와 달리 재생이 가능하고 지속 가능한 자원으로 각광을 받고 있다. 바이오매스를 이용하는 신재생에너지 기술로는 직접연소, 열화학적 변환, 생화학적 변환 기술 등이 있다. 열화학적 변환 기술에는 바이오매스를 열분해 가스화하여 발생된 합성가스를 이용하는 기술이 포함된다. 농업부산물은 청정에너지원으로서의 가능성이 높은 것으로 알려져 있으나, 현재는 퇴비, 가축사료 등의 단순 활용이 대부분을 차지하고 있다. 농업부산물을 이용하여 고부가가치를 창출하기 위한 하나의 방안으로 열분해 가스화를 통해 고효율 에너지원으로의 사용을 고려해 볼 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 초본계 농업부산물인 왕겨를 이용한 열분해 가스화기에서 발생한 합성가스를 정제시스템을 통하여 정제한 후, 가스엔진으로 정량적으로 공급하기위한 합성가스 공급시스템의 운전 특성을 고찰하였다. 그 결과 왕겨를 이용한 가스화기에서 합성가스는 안정적으로 발생하였으며, 정제시스템에서는 90%이상의 효율을 얻었다. 또한 20 kW급 가스엔진에서 필요로 하는 합성가스 공급유량 테스트는 약 $80Nm^3/h$, 200 mmAq 조건에서 가스 누입, 누출 없이 안정적으로 공급되었다.

신재생 에너지 발전용 연료인 바이오가스는 자체로는 가스터빈 발전기의 연료로 사용할 수 없으므로 이를 연료화하기 위한 설비로 각종 화학처리설비와 전기설비, 제어설비가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 국내기술로는 최초로 개발 중인 5MW급 가스터빈용 바이오가스 연료화 설비의 구성 및 기능, 이를 운전하기 위한 전기설비와 제어설비에 대한 내용을 간략히 기술하였다.
