This review covers recent research and development (R&D) activities in the field of algae-based biofuels in Korea. As South Korea's energy policy paradigm has focused on the development of green energies, the government has funded several algae biofuel R&D consortia and pilot projects. Three major programs have been launched since 2009, and significant efforts are now being made to ensure a sustainable supply of algae-based biofuels. If these R&D projects are executed as planned for the next 10 years, they will enable us to overcome many technical barriers in algae biofuel technologies and help Korea to become one of the leading countries in green energy by 2020.
本综述涵盖了韩国藻类生物燃料领域的近期研发活动。由于韩国的能源政策范式聚焦于绿色能源的发展，政府已资助了多个藻类生物燃料研发联盟和试点项目。自2009年以来已启动了三个主要项目，目前正在做出重大努力以确保藻类生物燃料的可持续供应。如果这些研发项目在未来10年按计划执行，它们将使我们能够克服藻类生物燃料技术中的许多技术障碍，并帮助韩国到2020年成为绿色能源领域的领先国家之一。
