The importance of waste grassland for potential biomass and bio‐energy production in China
The waste grassland (WGL) is the most important reserved land resources in China, up to 56.8％ in total amount and has the greatest exploitation potential.The area of WGL that is distributed in large scale with the greatest probability for arable land was 3.61 × 106 ha.If this part of WGL is used for bio‐ethanol energy plants, the yearly potential bio‐ethanol production will be 11.21 × 106 t that can substitute 23.1％ present gasoline consumption of China.The production of bio‐energy requires land.Because of the vast population and shortage of agricultural land in China, as less impact as possible on food and other agricultural production supply is the fundamental principle to develop the biomass and bio‐ energy industry.As the major marginal land, the reserved land ( RL) use for energy plants growth is an important way of potential biomass and bio‐energy production in China.
