Abstract

This paper discusses the roles of energy resources engineering in the hydrogen economy. The hydrogen economy uses hydrogen as commercial fuel and feedstock for the decarbonization of economic sectors to deliver a substantial fraction of the nation’s clean energy and services. The domestic production of hydrogen has been limited to byproduct hydrogen, and the technical maturity for transportation and storage is not high. A substantial amount needs to be imported to meet the hydrogen demand by 2050. Energy resources engineering has gained valuable experience in the natural gas value chain as well as overseas resources development. Typical energy resources engineering plays an important role in building the hydrogen value chain. As the overseas hydrogen business must be expanded into overseas energy development, it is essential to design future interdisciplinary research in the energy sector.

이 연구에서는 수소경제 시대의 도래에 따른 에너지자원공학의 역할을 서술하였다. 수소경제는 생산, 운송, 저장 및 활용까지 수소중심의 에너지시장을 의미한다. 현재 국내 수소생산은 부생수소 중심으로 한정되어 있으며 운송 및 저장분야의 기술 성숙도가 높지 않다. 해외 수소도입은 2050년 수소공급량의 82%를 차지할만큼 중요한 부분이다. 국내 천연가스산업은 수소경제산업과 밀접한 연관성을 갖고 있으며 해외자원개발을 통해 많은 경험을 축적하여 왔다. 수소가치사슬의 각 부문에서 전통 에너지자원공학의 활용도는 매우 높기 때문에, 해외 수소도입을 해외에너지개발로 확장하고, 보다 적극적인 에너지공학의 융복합연구를 통해 발전적 미래를 설계할 시점이다.
