The demand for the biomass-based drop-in fuels and chemicals that can replace the existing petrochemical products has encouraged policy makers throughout the world to introduce new legal mandates and researchers to identify ground-breaking solution to the challenging problems. Korea is not an exception to this new challenge and has been actively establishing national agenda such as Green Technology Policy and Biomass-based Energy Technical Roadmap, and investing heavily in R&D efforts to produce biofuels and chemicals using cellulosic and microalgal biomass. The Advanced Biomass R&D Center (ABC) is the largest research consortium (US$110 Million) in Korea that focuses its efforts to develop break-through basic and applied research and engineering solutions to produce the biomass-based biofuels economically and sustainably. Over 300 active participants work together to devise scientific and engineering solutions to solve the challenges that are associated with the production of biomass-based fuels and chemicals. In the present talk, the current policy and funding strategies in Korea in biomass-based alternative energy, and the recent technical progress that has been made in ABC will be discussed.
