Prospects of biomass to electricity power in China
According to energy administration planning, by 2015, the use of biomass power generation scale will reach 13 million kilowatts, compared to the end of 2010 the national about 550 million kilowatts of biomass power generation capacity, years compound annual growth rate is about 18.77%. Forestry of biomass power generation will be dominant, scale will be 8 million kw, the garbage power generation and the biogas power came next. This planning vision gain attention from industry again, not only governments around the world will be included in the strategic development of biomass power generation, but also the overseas capital also want to try. When compared to the biomass energy, in the period “Twelfth Five-Year” of new energy special planning, power-generation of solar energy also only has 10 million kw.
The space of biomass power generation is enormous, to calculate according to the scale of biomass power generation 13 million kw,there will be 500-700 biomass power plants increased by 2015 years, more than 100 material power plant will be build in one year. By 2010, there will be about 5.5 million kw installed biomass power generation.
Direct-fired power of biomass power generation is priority in China, the raw materials are usually straw. Because the recent years in biomass energy power generation enterprise increased, situation of supply of the raw material falls behind the demand occurs frequently, and some big agricultural province appear even a special “straw agent” scalping of raw materials, fuel prices could even reach 400 yuan/ton. The cost of power generation rising at the same time, the power has no corresponding adjustment.
In the period of “Twelfth Five-Year”, how to ensure that the growth of biomass power generation to more than 160% in order to realize the goal programming? This depends on how the country to make use of the relevant set of policy. In April 2011 the ministry of finance and the state energy administration and department of agriculture departments jointly issued the three green energy to be interim measures for the administration of construction subsidy funds from actual operation. To see, subsidies is mainly aimed at the biomass energy. According to the 200 green energy to be target completed in 2015, biomass energy industry but have subsidies for 4.75 billion yuan.
The next 10 years, the total investment of the biomass power plant are expected to reach 180 billion yuan, of which, the core equipment boiler island for 54 billion yuan, steam turbine of 14.4 billion yuan, crusher, and other equipment up to 36 billion yuan.
