Abstract: To develop bio-energy is conductive to relieving China’s heavy dependence on international oil resources, carbon mitigation, white pollutants reduction, and the building of the new socialist countryside. China holds great resource potential for bio-energy development. Necessary resources, technologies and systems should be available to develop bio-energy in China. Currently, however, China is too unfledged to have fully developed conditions. It is required to pay attention to the following issues while developing bio-energy industry in a healthy fashion.
Bio-energy represents the only renewable carbon-bearing energy. It is the best utilization to apply it to producing transportation fuels and bio-chemicals;It is imperative to give priority to the cultivation of biological algae and selective development of other high-yield species, so as to cement the foundation for bio-energy industry; It is required to integrate biological reaction with chemical reaction, bio process with chemical process, and technology research and development with unit development. The biomass technology is to be further developed for commercialization；conventional concept on economy of scales is not suitable for bio-energy industry. Thus it is expected to create an industrial development modality featuring moderate scale, adjacent technology transfer, comprehensive planning, module development, distributed production, and centralized marketing.
