Abstract

China currently is engaged in resolving many issues, which involve increasing peasants’ income, protecting environment and adjusting energy structure, which are able to be solved by developing the biomass power generation industry. This paper focuses on the development goal of 30GW for China’s biomass power generation, summarizes the industrial situation and policy environment, discusses the possibility of achieving the development goal, and introduces the way to achieve the goal. We draw the following conclusions: (1) there are still some obstacles to be overcome, such as the insufficient raw material supply, the low feed-in tariff, and the poor ability of technical research; (2) according to China’s current industrial situation, it is possible to achieve the development goal; (3) China’s policy tools is able to guarantee the industry development goal. At last, we offer several policy recommendations for adjusting the feed-in tariff and completing the Tradable Green Certificate system.
