Carbon dioxide was designated as one of greenhouse gases that cause global warming. Among various ways to solve the $CO_2$ emission issue, the 3rd-generation biomass (algae) production is considered as a viable method to reduce $CO_2$ in the atmosphere. In this research, we propose a design of an innovative sustainable production system by utilizing the 3rd generation biomass in the environment of floating production storage and offloading (FPSO). Existing biomass production systems depend on the solar energy and they cannot continue producing biomass at night. Electricity produced from offshore wind farms also need an efficient way to store the energy through energy storage system (ESS) or deliver it real-time through power grid, both requiring heavy investment of capital. Thus, we design an offshore grid structure harnessing LED lights to supply the necessary light energy, by using the electricity produced from the wind farm, resulting in the maximized production of biomass and efficient use of wind farm energy. The final design integrates the biomass production system enhanced by LED lights with a wind power generation. The suggested NLP model for the optimal design, implemented in GAMS, would be useful for designing improved offshore biomass production systems combined with the wind farm.

Biomass, a carbon-neutral fuel, has great advantages because it can replace fossil fuels to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, due to its low density, high water content, and hydrophilicity, biomass has disadvantages for transportation and storage. To improve these properties, a pretreatment process of biomass is required. One of the various pre-treatment technologies, torrefacion, makes biomass similar to coal through low-temperature pyrolysis. In this study, torrefacion treatment was carried out at 200, 230, 250, 280, and $300^{\circ}C$ for wood pellet, empty fruit bunch (EFB) and kenaf, and the feasibility of replacing coal with fuel was examined. Hygroscopicity tests were conducted to analyze the hydrophobicity of biomass, and its chemical structure changes were investigated using Infrared spectrum analysis. It was confirmed that the hygroscopicity was decreased gradually as the torrefacion temperature increased according to the hygroscopicity tests. The hydrophilicity was reduced according to the pyrolysis of hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin of biomass.

Fluidized bed gasification is technically and economically proven technology, which shows the high possibility of realization and commercialization. However, in Korea, development of FBG to the commercial scale for power generation and industry is mainly blocked by the fact that there is no experience of design, troubleshooting and operation of even pilot scale fluidized bed gasifier. In this study, a $3MW_{th}$ circulating fluidized bed(CFB) was newly developed for biomass gasification. The fluidized bed was mainly composed of circulating and bubbling fluidized reactors integrating in-situ tar removal step in the system. For cleaning of the tar and acid gas in the product gas, the sequential gas cleaning process comprised of a ceramic filter, rapid quencher and wet scrubber was adopted. Effect of equivalence ratio was investigated to find the optimal operating conditions for the $3MW_{th}$ integrated system of fluidized bed gasification.

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.

Since biomass is given the status of "renewable resource" in contrast to "exhaustible resource" e.q., fossil fuels, it plays a significant role in the sustainable development in future. We installed a downdraft gasifier for power generation from biomass materials. The biomass raw materials were wood chips with a moisture content of 18-23 wt.%, supplied at 40-50kg/h. This paper describes on the optimum gasification air ratio that is defined as the ratio of the oxygen mole supplied into the gasifier to the oxygen mole required for complete combustion for producing syngas supplied into a gas engine. The results showed that, lower heating value of the syngas was 1200 $kcal/m^3$ $_N-dry$ and cold gas efficiency of the gasification system was 72% under optimum operating conditions.

In order to overcome the 21st century's challenges such as national energy supply security, global warming, and resource depletion, we are struggling to accelerate the paradigm shift in our life style from fossil fuel-based economy to biomass-based economy. In the context of sustainable bioeconomy revitalization, we comprehensively review the development status of the biorefinery as a system for bioenergy/biochemicals co-products on the basis of the various categories according to six criteria.

Korea is the urgent need to diversify the bio-energy raw materials because we have narrow area of land cultivated plants and lack the bio-mass resources. Using a resource-rich the marine environment enclosed on three sides by the sea. Through bio-energy production-technical and carbon dioxide reduction measures which will be a very effective alternative. Sustainable development about algae bio-energize industry through SSaM-GG(Smart, Shared and Mutual-Green, Growth) is expected. Algae has high carbon dioxide absorption factor, extracting oil from algae is thirty times much more than sunflower.

현재 발전차액 지원을 받고 있는 신재생에너지 전원은 태양광, 풍력, 수력, 매립가스, 바이오 가스, 연료전지 등 6개 전원이 있다. 신재생에너지 중에서 태양광, 조력, 연료전지, 풍력의 기준가격은 고정가격이며, 폐기물은 변동가격이고, 수력, 매립가스, 바이오가스, 바이오매스는 고정가격과 변동가격 중에서 선택할 수 있도록 되어 있다. 지난 2년간 신재생에너지 발전소 실적 이용률을 기준가격 적용 이용률과 비교해 보면 매립가스(20MW 미만), 바이오가스, 연료전지 이용률은 기준가격 적용 이용률 보다 낮게 나타났으며, 특히 바이오가스는 실적 이용률이 매우낮게 나타났다. 기타 신재생에너지 전원은 실적 이용률이 높게 나타났다. 발전차액(기반기금)은 기준가격에서 계통한계가격을 뺀 금액을 의미하며 고정가격, 변동가격의 요금선택에 따라 발전차액에 미치는 요소들이 달라진다. 고정가격을 선택한 경우는 계통한계가격, 이용률(전력 거래량)이 영향을 미치며 변동가격을 선택한 경우는 이용률만이 발전차액에 영향을 미친다.
