Biomass energy industry is now going full tilt in 2015

Renewable energy is extremely popular around the world in recent years. Biomass energy has good performance in three industries—thermal industry, power generation industry and traffic industry, which are better than the same kind of solar energy and wind power. The position of biomass energy in the scope of energy can not to be neglected.

Biomass is a renewable and low carbon fuel, which is widely available throughout the world. Biomass energy is one of the most significant types of renewable energy，and it has many advantages. The production and utilization of biomass energy bring additional environmental and social benefits. After being processed with biomass pellet mill, biomass can be used as a sustainable fuel that can deliver a significant reduction in net carbon emissions when compared with fossil fuels.

 

International Renewable Energy Association (IRENA) has already published Global Bio Energy Report exclusively in the early days, which describes the steady development of biomass energy over the past 20 years and predict that biomass energy industry start to go full tilt in 2015.

 

The total development of biomass energy industry is not without obstruction. Without the policy support, the current development of biomass energy is still facing with great pressure. 

 

For this reason, USA Biomass Power Association is active on promotion of government policy. For example, the association is active on the promotion of listing biomass heating into utilization of renewable energy. According to understanding, biomass energy for heating system has been listed into the standard of utilization of renewable energy in northeastern states of American. In Massachusetts, a certain reward has been given to the application of renewable energy heating system and refrigeration technology during the biomass energy industry. Many utility Companies are busy with getting these points to reach the standard. 

 

In addition, the sustained downturn oil price has not yet threatened the development of biomass energy industry, but it has a certain impact on the biomass heating industry. Charlie Nepal Berlin, from BTEC point out that as long as the oil price is 80-100$, the biomass energy heating system has competitiveness prices for cost. “Oil price has always affected the biomass energy heating system”. He said, “as long as the oil price is down, the sales of pellet heating equipment is drop followed. Therefore, the industry has worry about the situation under the current trend of oil price”. 

 

However, Nepal Berlin also point out that cogeneration is becoming the new opportunity for the development if biomass energy industry under this situation. “This is a new opportunity” he said, “we are in need of this system, it can product a byproduct when the heating supply is satisfied. It is a win-win solution to improve the efficiency”. According to his introduction, the method of cogeneration is vey popular in EU and North American etc. “The times of new pattern of this industry like cogeneration and distributed generation is coming.”

 

In our country, tight supply for conventional energy has greatly affect the rapid development of social economic, as well as the centralized utilization of fossil fuel in large scale release out a large amount of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide etc, it destroy the living environment of human being greatly. As for that, the nation has published the law of renewable energy, which greatly strengthened the research of development of renewable energy technology.  As the No.4th energy resource, biomass energy plays an important role in the renewable energy. Development of biomass energy can not only supply the shortage of conventional energy, but also has significant environmental efficiency. Comparing with other biomass energy technology, the biomass pellet fuel technology is much easier to realize the large scale production and application. The comfort level can be on a par with energy like gas and oil. Therefore, the project of application of briquette machine, biomass pellet mill equipment and other biomass fuel project conform to the national industrial policy, and it has good economic efficiency and social efficiency.  

 

The effective execution of law of renewable energy, as the driving force of two big planning in the short term and long term goal, the related national department which includes National Development and Innovation Committee, National finance department, National agricultural department and National energy department etc, they take turns to publish the related policy and regulations concerning with the development of biomass energy to promote the development of biomass energy. During the development of biomass pellet in our country,  it developed rapidly due to the simple technology of straw pellet fuel, wide spread of raw material which can be got locally, and it can be sold around the place, especially for the power generation of straw, the price subsidies for electricity. From the national policy, the publish of notice of the national development and Reform Commission Office concerning the organization and implementation of biomass engineering high technology industrialization, has laid the foundation for the renewable energy like the biomass energy to replace of fossil fuel. Though the development of biomass pellet is still at the early stage, but it can be developed more and more rapidly as long as supported by the government increasingly and being concerned by more and more people. 

The development of China’s biomass energy industry not only improve the land utilization rate of our country, but also promote positive cycle of ecosystems in China. Producing biomass energy with biomass pellet mill improves China’s rural energy utilization efficiency on one hand, and promote the sustainable development of rural economy on the other hand. With the wider application of biomass pellet mill in recent years, low-carbon economy has been developed further, which relieves the energy crisis and guarantees national energy security.
