Chinese Biogas Technology Drivers & overarching targets of the ADB Project

1) Environmental Protection (ground-, surface waters, soil, air), Agro industry the largest polluter in China, in 2007: 20.000 Large and medium-sized livestock farms: 3.1 bill t/a waste (2009) 2) Greenhousegas mitigation (Climate change, Kyoto Protokol, low carbon economy), 40-45% CO2 emission reduction per GDP unit in 2020

3) Renewable Energy (substitution of fossil energies, energy safety, sustainable development,), 2020: 40 m to sceq. including 3 GW from MLSBPs 4) Rural socioeconomic Development

Why Biomass Energy in the RE Energy mix ?

Benefits of solid liquid - gaseous Biomass fuels compared to wind solar - hydro: 1) Locally available distributed Energy source 2) As long as biomass from wastes is concerned environmental pollution is a required win win effect, gate fees apply 3) Provided a stabile base loud energy production and even peak load demand coverage 4) Biogas can be used for transport (vehicle) fuels with alt least 30% higher efficiency than liquid biofuels 5) Biogas (- methane) easy to store (f.e in gas grids) 6) Enhances rural development better than other renewable
