New and renewable energy sources have drawn attention because of climate change. Many studies have been carried out in waste-to-energy field. Fast pyrolysis of waste lignocelluosic biomass is one of the waste-to-energy technologies. Bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) reactor is widely used for fast pyrolysis of the biomass. In BFB pyrolyzer, bubble behavior influences on the chemical reaction. Accordingly, in the present study, hydrodynamic characteristics and fast pyrolysis reaction of waste lignocellulosic biomass occurring in a BFB pyrolyzer are scrutinized. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation of the fast pyrolysis reactor is carried out by using Eulerian-Granular approach. And two-stage semi-global kinetics is applied for modeling the fast pyrolysis reaction of waste lignocellulosic biomass. To summarize, generation and ascendant motion of bubbles in the bed affect particle behavior. Thus biomass particles are well mixed with hot sand and consequent rapid heat transfer occurs from sand to biomass particles. As a result, primary reaction is observed throughout the bed. And reaction rate of tar formation is the highest. Consequently, tar accounts for 66wt.% of the product gas. However, secondary reaction occurs mostly in the freeboard. Therefore, it is considered that bubble behavior and particle motions hardly influences on the secondary reaction.

This study is to investigate the effect of torrefaction on enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass for bio-ethanol production. As a pretreatment, the torrefaction of lignocellulosic biomass was conducted in temperature of $250{\sim}350^{\circ}C$ in the absence of oxygen. Tween-80, nonionic surfactant, was tested to enhance saccharification efficiency by coping with hydrophobicity resulted from torrefaction. As a result, the glucose production from enzymatic hydrolysis of biomass pretreated by torrefaction was greater than that obtained from the non-pretreated biomass. Sugar conversion was higher when the biomass was saccharified with addition of tween-80. It was found that torrefaction can be applied as a preptreatment for lignocellulosic biomass and tween-80 is needed to enhance its enzyme saccharification.

본 연구에서는 가스화공정과 수성가스 전환공정, $CO_2$ 분리공정, 메탄화 공정을 주요 구성으로 한 대체(또는 합성)천연가스(SNG, Substitute or Synthetic Natural Gas)제조공정을 대상으로 석탄, 석탄 촤, 바이오매스 등의 다양한 고체시료를 적용하였을 경우 각 시료의 가스화 반응을 통해 얻어진 합성가스를 이용한 SNG 제조 공정 특성을 파악하고자 하였다. 석탄, 석탄 촤, 바이오매스를 적용한 SNG 공정해석 결과 가스화 공정, 수성가스 전환 공정, 메탄화 공정의 운전 용도가 각 800도, 450도, 300도이고, 수성가스 전환 공정 출구의 합성가스 $H_2$/CO ratio(mol basis)가 3인 조건에서 SNG/Feed ratio는 석탄, 석탄 촤, 바이오매스가 각각 0.35, 0.34, 0.08로 나타났고. SNG Efficiency(%) 는석탄, 석탄 촤 바이오매스에 대해서 각각 61.2%. 48.2%, 17.5%로 나타났다. 또한, 석탄 촤를 대상으로 가스화 공정에서의 산화제 투입 조건 및 스팀 투입조건의 변화에 따른 합성가스 발생 특성을 살펴보았다.

아임계 및 초임계수에 의한 목질바이오매스의 당화특성을 분석하기 위하여 분해공정 동안 압력을 23MPa(물의 임계압력)로 고정하고 물의 아임계 온도$(325^{\circ}C,\;350^{\circ}C)$와 초임계 온도$(380^{\circ}C,\;400^{\circ}C,\;425^{\circ}C)$에서 현사시나무 목분을 각각 60초 동안 처리하였다. 생성된 현사시나무의 분해산물에는 액상과 고형분의 분해산물이 섞여 있었다. 각 처리조건에 따른 목질바이오매스의 분해율은 온도가 상승함에 따라 증가하였으며 초임계 온도인 $425^{\circ}C$에서 최고 83.1%의 분해율을 나타냈다. 아임계 및 초임계수에 의해서 생성된 단당류는 고성능 음이온 교환 크로바토그래프(HPAEC)를 이용하여 분석하였다. 목질바이오매스의 초임계수 분해과정에서 처리 온도가 높아지면서 단당류 수율은 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, $425^{\circ}C$에서 가장 높은 7.3%의 단당류 수율을 나타내었다. 아임계 온도 범위에서는 현사시나무의 섬유소 성분 중에서 자일란이 우선적으로 분해되어 자일로스의 생성비율이 비교적 높았으며, 처리온도가 높아지면서 셀롤로오스의 분해에 의한 글루코오스 생성율이 급격히 상승하였다. 이렇게 생성된 단당류 성분들은 고온의 반응조건하에서 열분해 반응에 의해서 더욱 분해되어 퓨란계 화합물로 변형되었다.

Bio-energy offers the opportunity to lessen fossil fuel consumption. Energy derived from solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, and biomass sources are considered renewable. Because most forms of bio-energy are derive deither directly or indirectly from the sun, there is an abundant supply of renewable energy available, unlike fossil fuels. The use of bio-energy also provides environmental, economic and political benefits. Bio-energy can be produced from a marine source such as biomass provides a $CO_2$ neutral, non-polluting form of energy. In this paper, the potential of marine biomass is increasingly discussed, given the size of the resource in that more than three quarters of the surface of planet earth is covered by water.

This study is for the effective pretreatment and saccharification of lignocellulosic biomass for a transport fuel receiving attention. The waste water during the pretreatment of biomass is major factor for determining the price of biofuel. Therefore, we conducted high concentration of organosolv pretreatment for decline waste water and reusing the solvent. We confirmed effect of organosolv pretreatment by components analysis and enzymatic hydrolysis of pretreated biomass. The corn stover was used for and 99.5 wt% of ethanol as a organosolv pretreatment. The pretreatment condition was varied 130 to $190^{\circ}C$ during the designated reaction times and the effect of pretreatment was investigated by enzymatic hydrolysis. The highest glucose conversion was more than 68% the pretreatment condition of $190^{\circ}C$ for 70 min or more. The solid remaining was more than 70% and almost of cellulose and hemicellulose were survived.

In accordance with the New and Renewable Energy Supply Statistics, biomass power generation has surged since 2013, and use of wood pellet has the most sharply increased, 696Gwh in 2013, 2,764Gwh in 2014 and 2,512Gwh in 2015. Total domestic wood pellet consumption was 1.48million tons in 2015, of which wood pellets consumed for power generation account for about 1.08million tons, about 73%. In this study, we gained the result that the wood pellet would be consumed 2.61million tons in 2020, 6.85million tons in 2025, 11.39million tons in 2030. We also calculated the optimum biomass power generation, on the premise that the power plant co-fire 50% biomass, and the result was that 2.26million tons of wood pellets should be produced domestically in 2021 to operate the present licensed wood pellet power plant from this study.
