Biomass power generation target or super photovoltaic power generation

The "First Financial Daily" learned from the National Rural Energy Work Conference held on July 9 and 10 that at the end of the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan," China will form a 13 million kilowatts of biomass power generation capacity, compared to China's power companies at the end of last year. The "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" research report for the power industry issued by the Federation has quadrupled this goal.

This provides businesses with opportunities for biomass power generation. Pan Wenzhi, general manager of Beijing Heli Power Co., Ltd., told the First Financial Daily yesterday that the company plans to take this opportunity to promote the already mature “chicken manure power generation” project in the country’s qualified places.

Liu Tienan, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission and director of the National Energy Administration, stated at the national rural energy work conference that by 2015 China's biomass power generation capacity will reach 13 million kilowatts. This target figure is even higher than the energetically installed PV installation capacity (in the “12th Five-Year Plan” new energy special plan that is being formulated, the final installed capacity of China's solar power will reach 10 million kilowatts).

Biomass power generation is the use of biomass for biomass power generation. It is a type of renewable energy power generation, including direct combustion and power generation of agricultural and forestry waste, gasification of agricultural and forestry waste, waste incineration power generation, and landfill gas power generation. Biogas power generation. As of the end of 2010, biomass power generation capacity was approximately 5.5 million kilowatts.

Professor Wu Youqing of East China University of Science and Technology said at the national rural energy work conference that theoretically China will produce 5 billion tons of biomass energy a year, which is equivalent to 10% of China’s coal production, but it is relatively backward in terms of application.

However, officials are gradually clearing the obstacles in the field of biomass power generation applications. In July last year, the National Development and Reform Commission issued the "Notice on Perfecting the Agricultural and Forestry Biomass Power Generation Pricing Policy", which clarified that the unified implementation of the biomass power generation benchmarking on-grid price is 0.75 yuan (including tax) per kilowatt-hour. The determination of the price gives investors a clear expectation of investment return and stimulates biomass power generation investment.

National Energy Development Research Institute of National Development and Reform Commission Han Wenke interviewed by this newspaper has said that the current cost of biomass power generation in China is between 0.4 to 1.0 yuan / degree. UBS Securities analyst Li Bo believes that these recently introduced policies will help change the profitability of biomass power generation, so that biomass power plants have been able to get rid of years of losses and start to make profits.

Deqingyuan is an enterprise that started earlier in biomass power generation. According to Pan Wenzhi, in 2005, 3 million laying hens owned by Deqingyuan had an annual output of 2 million tons of chicken manure. In order to solve the problem of chicken manure disposal, Deqingyuan set up a subsidiary to deal with agricultural waste - Heli Clear Source Technology The company, and in October 2009, built the first factory that uses chicken manure to generate biogas and power the grid. It processes 212 tons of chicken manure every day, and supplies 14 million kilowatts of electricity per year to the North China Power Grid.

Due to the high cost, the “chicken manure power generation” plant has been operating at a loss for the first time. Pan Wenzhi said that after more than two years of exploration, the project has basically reached a break-even point. The cost per one-off electricity is now around 0.4 yuan, and the state subsidy is 0.25 yuan per degree.

The National Rural Energy Work Conference held the first batch of 108 green energy demonstration counties. Liu Tienan stated that by 2015, 200 green energy demonstration counties will be built nationwide.

Pan Wenzhi revealed that the company has plans to invest in new biomass power generation projects in these green energy pilot counties.
