Biomass Power Generation: A New Force in China's New Energy Industry
The annual treatment of biomass is 300,000 tons, the provision of green electricity is about 200 million kWh, and the annual increase of income for local farmers is about 70 million yuan. Everbright New Energy (Dangshan) biomass power generation project has been put into operation in Dangshan County, Anhui Province recently, which makes people feel the "energy" of biomass power generation using agricultural straw and other raw materials. Experts pointed out that with the promotion of the government's supporting policies on biomass energy, more enterprises will be attracted to this field during the 12th Five-Year Plan period, and the biomass energy industry will usher in a period of rapid development.
Biomass energy refers to the use of natural plants and urban and rural organic waste conversion, production of energy. Dangshan biomass power generation project is the first biomass power generation project of China Everbright International Limited Company in China. It adopts the international advanced technology route of biomass direct-fired power generation. The total investment of the project is about 310 million yuan. According to the "high standard and high efficiency", a comprehensive demonstration project of biomass energy has been built in one year. At present, it is formally connected to the grid for power generation.
For a long time, the development of biomass in China can be relatively slow, one of the reasons is that straw collection is troublesome, so hundreds of millions of tons of straw are burned in white every year. Guangda International has carefully chosen to develop biomass energy power generation projects in Dangshan, Anhui Province, which has a broad space for development.
Chen Xiaoping, Chief Executive Officer of China Everbright International Limited, said in an interview with reporters that the enterprise will be directly located in the land of forests and fruits, and the abandoned branches of orchards will be collected and burned to become biomass energy, which not only develops green energy, but also promotes local economic development. The project will benefit more than one million farmers in Dangshan County and its surrounding areas. After completion, it can provide central heating and power supply to local enterprises in the local park. The ash generated can also be used as raw material for production industry, white carbon black, or fertilizer plant, forming a complete circular economy industrial chain of biomass-electricity-chemical industry, which has far-reaching significance for improving rural residential environment. It is a typical "green energy". Source Development Project.
Relevant data show that if only agricultural straw and other raw materials are used, China's biomass energy can use 500 million tons of standard coal. At present, the cost of biomass power generation is more advantageous than the cost target set by photovoltaic industry.
Zhou Fengqi, senior researcher of the Energy Research Institute of the National Development and Reform Commission, and other experts pointed out that biomass energy, as a rising star in the field of new energy, can be used as energy mainly including straw, algae, biogas, forest, livestock manure and so on. These energy resources are widely distributed, have great potential for development, and have little environmental impact, so they can be used continuously.
Due to energy shortage and other issues, countries around the world attach great importance to the development of biofuel industry. It is expected that in the future, with the support of relevant policies and breakthroughs in key technologies, more enterprises will be involved in this field, and the development of biomass energy may become a new force in China's new energy industry.
