Background, Status and Perspectives of Large Scale Biogas Plant Development in the Agricultural Sector in China
In China,the utilization of biomass and in particular biomass wastes plays an important role for energy production and is an essential element of the national energy supply strategy.During the 11th Five-Year Plan Period (2006-2010),the central governmental investment in biogas was 21.2 billion RMB (2.7 billion ∈) totally and for the 12th FYP it will be even increased.China has abundant feedstock for producing biogas available.With current feedstock,the biogas may cover about more than 10% of the total energy demand in China in 2030.Biogas plants are developed in all provinces.By the end of 2011,there were 80,500 biogas plants,with the biogas production of 15 billion m3,which was about 11% of the natural gas consumption and which reduces annually more than 60 million tons of carbon dioxide emission.However,most of the biogas plants are based on manure feed,the investment compared to Europe is high,the quality and life-time of the equipment is low and the overall performance is inefficient.The negative experiences leads to a low motivation to accept this technology on a commercial basis and to further investments in energy production from biomass wastes.The Sino-German Optimization of Biomass Utilization Project,implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH jointly with the MOA partner Foreign Economic Cooperation Center (FECC),who is in charge of the ‘Integrated Renewable Biomass Energy Development Project,an investment loan of the Asian Development Bank (ADB),has the objective is to improve the technical standard and the operational performance of industrialised biogas plants that produce energy from biomass.Its to make biogas energy more attractive to state and private sector investment.Through the demonstration projects,trainings and policy advices,the project is enhancing the knowledge and competence in this sector based on the biogas success story in Germany.This project is part of the Sino-German Biogas Cooperation.
