Energy Bureau: Accelerating the Industrialization of Biomass Energy

Liu Tienan, director of the National Energy Administration, said in an investigation in Henan recently that it will organize key enterprises and key resource provinces to intensify innovation and promote the accelerated development of advanced biomass energy industry.

Liu Tiexi pointed out that the "Special Plan for Advanced Biomass Energy Chemical Demonstration Project" will be formulated as soon as possible to clarify the development goals, main tasks, and access conditions of the biomass energy industry. Relying on key resource regions and powerful backbone enterprises, we have chosen to implement demonstration projects focusing on the demonstration of the industrialization of cellulosic ethanol and the key innovation areas of bioenergy such as alcohol, electricity, gas, and chemical cogeneration. The National Energy Administration will work with relevant departments to integrate the focus and direction of bio-energy development and provide related supporting policies.

It is understood that China produces 840 million tons of various types of crop straw every year. Except for more than 500 million tons for returning land, raising livestock, and using agriculture, most of the remaining land is burned as waste, which not only wastes valuable resources, but also seriously pollutes the environment.

According to the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan for National Strategic Emerging Industries Development" recently announced, during the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, the country will coordinate the development of biomass energy such as biomass power generation, strengthen the development of the next-generation biofuel technology, and promote cellulose. Ethanol and microalgae biodiesel industrialization. "Planning" proposes that by the end of 2015, the country's biomass power generation capacity will reach 13 million kilowatts. The annual utilization of biogas reaches 30 billion cubic meters. The annual utilization of solid shaped biomass fuels reaches 10 million tons. The annual utilization of biological liquid fuel reaches 5 million tons.
