Perceptions of biomass energy sustainability in policy scenarios of China.

ABSTRACT

This study examines biomass energy policies in the EU, US, and Japan, noting high implementation rates in Poland (86.5 %) and Finland (90.6 %). Germany's biogas utilization is particularly noteworthy, accounting for 29.6 %. The paper summarizes China's national and provincial waste biomass management and energization policies, encompassing agriculture, biomass energy, and environmental governance aspects. Analyzing China's biomass energy industry reveals challenges requiring a comprehensive development plan based on waste biomass resources and environmental zoning. Proposed solutions include establishing ecological energy agriculture demonstration zones, optimizing policies for environmental benefits, encouraging technological innovation, establishing a trade association, improving standards, setting up a waste biomass fund, introducing green certificates and quotas, and integrating waste biomass into the national carbon trading system.
