　　报告摘要:

　　While Korea has developed an extremely competitive technology in the field of semiconductor and information technology industry, there is a strong need for Korea to develop new technology in renewable energy not only for maintaining economic competitiveness in new global markets, but also for establishing energy security and independence. With this realization, Korea has established a Green Technology Industry Road Map and has been investing heavily in basic R&D, demonstration, commercialization, and business development in clean-tech industry. Advanced Biomass R&D Center (ABC), the largest university-national laboratory-industry partnership-based consortium in Korea (US $110 million), has been developing transformative scientific, technological, and engineering solutions to produce drop-in biofuels using microalgae. Since October of 2010, ABC has published more than 300 peer-reviewed papers and filed over 100 patents. Equipped with the recent success and progress in mass cultivation of microalgae, development of a low-energy cost harvesting technology and a novel biodiesel production platform, ABC recently launched a new initiative called “The Project Green-Eagle” that aims at producing bio-jet fuels that can be used in military aircrafts in close collaborations with leading industry and national laboratory partners such as SK and Korea Energy Research Institute. ABC is working closely with Korean Air Force of MND (Ministry of National Defense, Korea) to test the bio-jet fuels that will be produced by ABC. The successful execution of the Project Green-Eagle will allow Korea to be in one of the global leadership positions in biomass derived liquid jet fuels. In this presentation, I will discuss the current technical progress of the entire value chain of producing bio jet fuels from microalgal biomass. (This work was supported by the Advanced Biomass R&D Center of Korea Grant funded by the Ministry of Science, ICT and Future (ABC-2011-K000908).
