Biomass energy for a sustainable Taiwan: Technologies, policies, and future prospects
This review introduces biomass resources in Taiwan. By focusing on agricultural and municipal solid waste, the impact of biomass energy is explored to strengthen renewable energy production capacity in Taiwan. The progress in biochemical conversion technologies such as anaerobic digestion and gasification that transform waste into bioenergy like biofuels and valuable by-products (e.g., biochar and organic fertilizers) is comprehensively assessed. In particular, the government of Taiwan supports green energy production industries and other research units to develop efficient bioenergy by utilizing abundant biomass resources. The government's endeavors related to status and challenges in biomass resources, potential economic and environmental advances, and policies are discussed. In 2020, the installed bioenergy capacity of Taiwan was 716 MW, which is expected to be 813 MW by 2025. The impact of modern systems on emerging biomass resources is pivotal for reducing the environmental influence. These systems can improve economic efficiencies and prevent pollution by integrating innovative technologies like the Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence. Notably, the policy-driven promotion of biomass-based solid renewable fuels and smart agriculture management prominently contribute to Taiwan's transition towards more sustainable biomass energy.
期刊介绍:
Biomass & Bioenergy is an international journal publishing original research papers and short communications, review articles and case studies on biological resources, chemical and biological processes, and biomass products for new renewable sources of energy and materials.
The scope of the journal extends to the environmental, management and economic aspects of biomass and bioenergy.
Key areas covered by the journal:
• Biomass: sources, energy crop production processes, genetic improvements, composition. Please note that research on these biomass subjects must be linked directly to bioenergy generation.
• Biological Residues: residues/rests from agricultural production, forestry and plantations (palm, sugar etc), processing industries, and municipal sources (MSW). Papers on the use of biomass residues through innovative processes/technological novelty and/or consideration of feedstock/system sustainability (or unsustainability) are welcomed. However waste treatment processes and pollution control or mitigation which are only tangentially related to bioenergy are not in the scope of the journal, as they are more suited to publications in the environmental arena. Papers that describe conventional waste streams (ie well described in existing literature) that do not empirically address ''new'' added value from the process are not suitable for submission to the journal.
• Bioenergy Processes: fermentations, thermochemical conversions, liquid and gaseous fuels, and petrochemical substitutes
• Bioenergy Utilization: direct combustion, gasification, electricity production, chemical processes, and by-product remediation
• Biomass and the Environment: carbon cycle, the net energy efficiency of bioenergy systems, assessment of sustainability, and biodiversity issues.
