Summary:碩士 === 朝陽科技大學 === 環境工程與管理系碩士班 === 100 === Abstract Global resources have been gradually exhausted. As Taiwan highly depends on exported energy, continuous rise of crude oil price seriously affects national energy safety. Moreover, combustion of fossil fuel is the major source of CO2 and the culprit of greenhouse effect. Active development of green alternative energy and renewable energy becomes an urgent issue. Biomass is regarded as the most potential renewable energy and has been developed by many countries. Based on the government polices, biomass development can be promoted by integrating economy, technology and energy education to create environment for sustainable development. This study investigated the opinions of the experts, governmental departments, environmental organizations and the public, and conducted Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) for pairwise comparison to obtain the weights of relative importance between elements, in order to construct weight priority and provide information reference for relevant departments. The analysis results are as follows: 1. In evaluation of elements layer, the most important elements considered by experts are prioritized as follows: “policy” (0.481), “technology” (0.233), “economy” (0.191) and “energy education” (0.094). 2. In policy criterion layer, the most sub-criteria considered by the experts are prioritized as follows: “active development of green energy industry by government” (0.314), “supply and consumption method of low-carbon and low-pollution energy” (0.258), “government-specified biomass industry development schedule” (0.249), and “increase of percentage of power generation from renewable energy in total power supply” (0.179). 3. In economy criterion layer, the most sub-criteria considered by the experts are prioritized as follows: “provide subsidy for manufacturers who are willing to develop and introduce new technology” (0.309), “government-guaranteed purchasing price” (0.267), “provide subsidy for biomass entrepreneurs” (0.187), and “taxation reduction, exemption or preference” (0.184). 4. In technical criterion layer, the experts believe that the most important sub-criteria were: “encourage manufacturers to develop new biomass power generation technology” (0.469), “continually develop the technology projects which has potential and prospects in the future” (0.244), “gain the co-operation between domestic manufacturers and international cooperation in biomass generators” (0.152), “developing sources of energy crops” (0.136) . 5. In energy education criterion layer, the most important sub-criteria considered by the experts are prioritized as follows: “renewable energy concept is incorporated into lifelong education” (0.326), “training of educational staff” (0.233), “biomass education facilities and resources” (0.223), and “preparation of sufficient educational budgets” (0.217). 6. The five top sub-criteria in the valid questionnaires are prioritized: “active development of green energy industry by government” (0.163), “supply and consumption method of low-carbon and low-pollution energy”(0.132), “encouragement of biomass power generation technology” (0.113), “government-specified biomass development schedule” (0.109) and “increase of percentage of power generation from renewable energy in total power supply” (0.078).
