Although there is great potential for development, the characteristics of "minority" are difficult to change

For the cumulative installed capacity, Shandong, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Heilongjiang ranked the top 5, reaching 4.1 million kilowatts, 3.76 million kilowatts, 2.95 million kilowatts, 2.83 million kilowatts and 2.51 million kilowatts respectively.

For the new installed capacity, Heilongjiang, Henan, Liaoning, Shandong and Jiangxi ranked in the top 5, reaching 290,000 kilowatts, 210,000 kilowatts, 150,000 kilowatts, 150,000 kilowatts and 120,000 kilowatts respectively.

In terms of power generation, Guangdong, Shandong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui and Henan provinces ranked the top six, reaching 9.1 billion KWH, 7.9 billion KWH, 5.5 billion KWH, 5.5 billion KWH, 5.1 billion KWH and 4.9 billion KWH respectively.

China has a high proportion of waste incineration for power generation.

At present, in China's biomass power generation structure in 2021, waste incineration power generation accounts for about 61.2%, agricultural and forestry biomass power generation accounts for about 35.5%, and biogas power generation accounts for about 3.3%.

Third, major issues

At present, China's bioenergy is still mainly used for power generation, and non-electric use is supplemented.

China's biomass power generation project operation mainly relies on electricity sales income, and relies on financial subsidies, the profit model is relatively simple, and the profit is restricted.

With the national renewable energy development fund gap continues to expand, electricity price subsidy arrears have been quite serious, and superimposed the impact of financial subsidy decline policy, biomass power generation industry development situation is not optimistic, can be described as difficult.

For agricultural and forestry biomass power generation enterprises, fuel costs account for more than 60% of their operating costs, and the production and operation situation is indeed difficult to maintain.

Specific questions are as follows:

1. The value of ecological environment has not been fully reflected

The development of bioenergy in China is mainly based on the treatment of various organic wastes in urban and rural areas, and the main goal is to protect the ecological environment, and its energy attribute has not been demonstrated.

At present, China's existing bioenergy policy is mainly to support the energy utilization of waste, and it has not paid enough attention to the ecological and environmental value of bioenergy, let alone established an institutional mechanism to realize the ecological and environmental value of bioenergy, so there are certain problems in the construction of the policy system.

2. Serious imbalance of industrial structure

Since the state supports the biomass power generation industry through the renewable energy price subsidy policy, China's biomass power generation industry has initially had a certain scale, and currently ranks first in the world, but the proportion of the power structure is still small.

On the whole, there has been little progress in the utilization of biomass in the non-power generation field in China, such as clean heating, bio-gas and liquid fuel, and many other aspects are still in the "small", fragmented and initial stage of development, and a good pattern of multiple utilization of biomass energy has not been formed.

3. Lack of innovation ability

Compared with other renewable energy industries such as wind energy and solar energy, China's biomass energy industry is very small in scale, although the industrial chain is relatively long, but the main investor is private enterprises, state-owned large-scale energy enterprises are less involved.

At present, China's biomass energy industry concentration is low, the market competitiveness is still relatively fragile, the operating efficiency is very limited, and the lack of sufficient financial strength has led to a serious lack of innovation ability on the whole, which restricts industrial technological progress and business model innovation.

It is expected that the state's renewable energy price subsidy policy will gradually step off the stage, and definitely strengthen the market-oriented reform system and mechanism, China's biomass energy industry must adjust the development ideas, and constantly innovate the development mechanism and business model to adapt to the strengthening market-oriented trend.

Fourth, development trend

In August 2021, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the National Energy Administration jointly issued the "Work Plan for the construction of biomass power generation Projects in 2021", which generally clarified the overall idea of "compensation by collection, central and local sharing, classified management, and stable development", focusing on "classified management" to promote the stable and healthy development of the biomass power generation industry.

From the trend point of view, with the rapid development of China's biomass power generation industry, the proportion of installed power generation capacity in the installed capacity of renewable energy power generation may gradually rise, but the overall proportion is not likely to be too high, and its "minority" characteristics are not expected to disappear.
