Bioenergy Engineering – Transforming biochemical engineering toward clean and sustainable energy production Jo-Shu Chang ( 張嘉修 ) Department of Chemical Engineering National Cheng Kung University Tainan 701, Taiwan Fax: 06-2357146 E-mail: changjs@mail.ncku.edu.tw Abstract Our economy and lifestyle heavily rely on the use of major energy source - fossil fuels. However, the excessive dependence on fossil fuels has caused severe problems due to a seemly unstoppable rising of their cost, insecurity in their sustainability, as well as their impacts on global warming and environmental pollution. As a result, technologies leading to generation of reliable, efficient, and eco-friendly energy have received increasingly attention in recent years. Energy produced from biomass resources (esp., lignocellulosic materials) has the nature of CO 2 neutral and recycle of renewable resources, thereby becoming the most promising alternative to fossil fuels. Biomass energy produced from biological (mainly, fermentation) means is of particular interest since it is environmentally compatible and less energy intensive. Hence, many R&D efforts are devoted to biotechnology and bioengineering enabling conversion of biomass feedstock into gaseous (e.g., H 2 , CH 4 ) and liquid (e.g., ethanol, butanol, and biodiesel) energy products. This emerging technology requires integration of interdisciplinary knowledge and has attracted tremendous research momentum within a very short period of time. This presentation introduces recent advances on bioenergy development and the technology/engineering that are involved in producing biomass energy. Some specific examples are given to demonstrate how conventional and innovative biochemical engineering strategies can be utilized to develop leading edge energy technology or to improve the performance of existing biomass energy production technology. The aim of this presentation is to deliver the message that it is now a golden opportunity to open a new era of biochemical engineering as it can play a pivotal role in future energy development for the twentieth century. Keywords: biochemical engineering, biomass energy, carbon dioxide emission, fossil fuels, lignocellulosic materials, hydrogen, methane, bioethanol, biobutanol, biodiesel
