Abstract

ASEAN countries consist of vast coastal areas and thousands of islands that are vulnerable to the effects of climate change on sea level rise. It is believed that this will play an important role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions globally in order to minimize the damage suffered by ASEAN countries. To overcome this issue, biofuels have been used to minimize the impact on the environment by replacing fossil fuels and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In those cases of United States, Brazil and Europe, where biofuels are highly utilized, research, development and investment in this field have been actively conducted in the past. In ASEAN countries, however, it has not been a long time since the biofuel policies were established. To overcome this problem, we investigated the renewable fuel policy in the United States, Brazil and the European Union. Based on this, we suggested the utilization plan and prospect of biofuel policy in ASEAN countries.

ASEAN 국가는 광대한 연안과 수 천 개의 섬들로 이루어져 있어 기후변화로 인한 해수면 상승은 국가의 존립에 큰 위기요인이다. 이로 인해 ASEAN 각 국가가 입게 되는 피해를 최소한으로 줄이기 위해서는 범국가적인 온실가스 배출량을 감축하기 위한 노력이 중요하다. 기후변화에 대비하기 위한 다양한 방안 중 하나인 바이오연료는 이를 화석연료를 대체함으로써 환경에 미치는 영향을 최소화하고 온실가스 감축 효과를 불러올 수 있다. 바이오연료 선진국인 유럽과 미국, 브라질은 이 분야에 대한 연구와 개발 및 투자가 이전부터 활발하게 진행되고 있었던 반면 ASEAN 국가에서 관련 정책이 제정 된 것은 긴 시간이 지나지 않았다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 바이오연료 선진국 중, 바이오에탄올 중심의 미국과 브라질, 바이오디젤 중심의 유럽 연합(EU)의 의무혼합제도와 바이오연료 보급 정책을 각각 살펴보았다. 또한 이를 바탕으로 현재 시행되고 있는 ASEAN 국가의 바이오연료 활용방안과 전망을 모색하였다.
