The Hydrogen Economy Promotion and Hydrogen Safety Management Act (hereinafter referred to as the "Hydrogen Economy Act") stipulates matters related to certification and cancellation of clean hydrogen by grade, and requires those who produce, import, or sell clean hydrogen to report to the Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy. In order for this system to operate smoothly, the clean hydrogen Certification system must be designed to meet international standards, and the institution operating the System must have appropriate capabilities and foundations. The clean hydrogen certification system should serve as an opportunity for Korea's domestic energy industry to take a leap forward.

The increase of greenhouse gases and the concern of global warming instigate the development and spread of renewable energy and hydrogen is considered one of the clean energy sources. Hydrogen is one of the most elements in the earth and exist in the form of fossil fuel, biomass and water. In order to use hydrogen for a clean energy source, the hydrogen production method should be eco-friendly and economic as well. There are two different hydrogen production methods: conventional thermal method using fossil fuel and renewable method using biomass and water. Steam reforming, autothermal reforming, partial oxidation, and gasification (using solid fuel) have been considered for hydrogen production from fossil fuel. When using fossil fuel, carbon dioxide should be separated from hydrogen and captured to be accepted as a clean energy. The amount of hydrogen from biomass is insignificant. In order to occupy noticeable portion in hydrogen industries, biomass conversion, especially, biological method should be sufficiently improved in a process efficiency and a microorganism cultivation. Electrolysis is a mature technology and hydrogen from water is considered the most eco-friendly method in terms of clean energy when the electric power is from renewable sources such as photovoltaic cell, solar heat, and wind power etc.

Researches on developing photocatalyst materials for hydrogen production from solar water splitting attract great attentions due to the unlimited and clean characteristics of the solar energy. In this review, photocatalysts used for hydrogen production from the solar water splitting are discussed in terms of material characteristics. In addition, various modification techniques applied to the photocatalysts for improving hydrogen production efficiency are summarized. Finally, light characteristics such as intensity, illumination density and wavelength cutoff are also discussed for the importance of hydrogen production rate.

현재의 화석연료-기반 사회에서는 지구 온난화와 고유가 추세가 야기하는 경제적 피해, 에너지 안보우려, 세계 평화 위협 등에 자주 노출되고 있는 실정이다. 세계 각국은 이러한 화석연료 에너지원을 대체하는 환경-청정하고 기술-신뢰할 수 있으며 경제-감당할 수 있는 에너지 공급원인 수소를 기반으로 하는 미래의 수소-기반 사회로의 진입에 노력하고 있다. 특히, 청정한 에너지 운반체인 수소의 생산 기술 상업화가 더욱 더 절실히 요구되고 있다. 이 예비 연구에서는 이산화탄소 포획/저장 기술과 결합된 다양한 수소 생산 기술의 정량적인 예비 비교 평가가 수행되었다. 예비적인 비교 평가 기준으로 1) 이산화탄소 배출량: 2) 에너지 이용률; 3) 토지 점유율: 4) 수소 생산비용 등이 고려되었다. 이러한 기준에 따라 수소 생산 기술 가운데 네 가지 예비 기술 대안인 1) 원자력: 2) LNG; 3) 석탄: 4) 태양광 등이 비교되었다. 대안 기술의 비교 평가 체제로 계층 망형 구조-기반 되먹임 모델이 개발되었다. 이러한 수소생산 기술의 우선순위 선정 결과는 개별 대안 기술의 상대적인 장단점 및 기술적인 갭을 정량적으로 인식하는 데에 활용될 수 있다. 그러므로 이 예비 연구는 수소 생산 기술 연구자나 수소 경제 기획자한테 뿐만 아니라 이산화탄소 포획/저장 기술 개발자한테 도움이 되리라 본다.

Ethanol steam reforming reaction considered as a clean hydrogen production method is introduced in this paper. Reactivity and reaction rate equation of ethanol steam reforming reaction using various catalysts, reaction temperature, and molar ratio of ethanol and water will be discussed. In addition to introducing a membrane reactor combining a reactor and a separator, the effect of the use of a membrane reactor on an ethanol conversion and hydrogen yield will be compared to those from a conventional packed-bed reactor.

Hydrogen is one of the few long-term sustainable clean energy carriers, emitting only water as by-products during its combustion or oxidation. The use of fossil fuels to produce hydrogen makes large amount of carbon dioxide (>7 kg $CO_{2}$/kg $H_{2}$) during the reforming processes. Hydrogen production can be environmentally benign only if the energy and the resource to make hydrogen is sustainable and renewable. Biomass is an attractive alternative to fossil fuels for carbon dioxide because of the hydrogen can be produced by conversion of the biomass and the carbon dioxide formed during hydrogen production is consumed by biomass generation process. Hydrogen production using solar energy also attracts great attention because of the potential to use abundance natural energy and water.

Hydrogen is emerging as an essential material for carbon neutrality. In particular, Korea needs 22.9 million tons of imported clean hydrogen by 2050 to achieve carbon neutrality. However, a large amount of carbon is emitted during the import process, and market regulations are being discussed. This research estimates the carbon emissions of importing green hydrogen from Vietnam, Australia, and the United Arab Emirates to Korea, and calculates imported green hydrogen prices under carbon emission market regulations.

최근에 발효된 기후 변화 협약에 대처할 수 있는 청정 에너지원으로서 수소가 큰 기대를 받고 있다. 이에 따라 미국을 비롯한 선진국들은 수소 생산과 수소 활용을 위한 기술 개발을 적극적으로 추진하고 있다. 수소 생산 방법으로서는 탄화수소에 고온의 수증기를 불어넣어 수소를 분리해 내는 증기개질법이 현재로서는 가장 효율적인 방법으로 알려져 있으며, 고온가스로(HTGR)가 가장 경제적인 열원으로 대두되고 있다. 중국은 2020년까지 3000만kW의 신규 원자력발전소(주로 PWR) 건설을 계획하고 있으며, 발전과 수소 생산을 위한 열을 동시에 공급할 수 있는 고온가스로의 상용화 개발 프로그램을 추진중이다. 2005년 3월호에 게재된 중국의 HTGR 개발 관련 기사를 소개한다.
