Value chain analysis of algal bioenergy and carbon capture integrated with a biotechnology innovation / 運用價值鏈分析於藻類生質能源與生物科技創新整合碳捕捉技術之研究

博士 / 國立臺灣科技大學 / 管理研究所 / 106 / Many power companies have been actively engaging in the research on reducing greenhouse gas emissions so as to reduce CO2 emissions caused by coal-fired power plants. Microalgae, with their capability of using CO2 emitted from coal-fired power generation for rapid growth of themselves, have become a new approach and option of low-carbon technology in recent years. However, it has always been challenging to commercialize this technology, despite the government’s efforts in providing subsidy and protection for carbon tax price, coal-fired power plants are still unable to afford the cost of CO2 capture. In short, it is difficult to achieve sustainability only by the way of using microalgae in CO2 capture. This study adopts green and creative thinking in the development of enzymatic hydrolysis technology and proves that the enzymatic hydrolysis C-phycocyanin has anti-oral-cancer and anti-lung-cancer potentials, as well as economic value when compared with other anti-cancer drugs on the market. Furthermore, the heating value analysis of algae masses cultured in a photobioreactor shows that such algae have relatively high heat value, which means that they can be used as a kind of biofuel. The enzymatic hydrolysis technology put forth in this study could be used to produce enzymatic hydrolysis C-phycocyanin with anti-oral-cancer and anti-lung-cancer potentials. Compared with the prices of other anti-cancer drugs, using bio-based CO2 capture innovation technology value chain model and Monte Carlo simulation, the result shows that it is profitable and productive to apply this technology in the application of renewable energy and low-carbon technology. Suffice to say that it is possible to make use of algae in the practices of carbon capture and renewable energy production, thus it increases the investors’ intention to invest in these technologies.
