As an important new energy source, biomass energy has mature technology and wide applications. It plays an important role in coping with global climate change, alleviating the contradiction between energy supply and demand, and protecting the ecological environment. It has become an important force in the international energy transition. What is the current development trend of my country’s biomass fuel market?
At present, my country’s biomass briquette fuel is still in the early stage of development, limited by the rural market, the degree of specialization is not high, the main body of large enterprises is small, the market system is imperfect, and the high-value commercial market has not been successfully developed. So far, biomass energy has been in an embarrassing situation that “when entering energy deep as the sea, hitting a wall becoming the normality”. But in fact, biomass energy is an emerging ecological energy, including any renewable or recyclable organic matter, scientifically and rationally developed and used, can have a hundred billion-level industrial market.
Urban and rural development of commercialized biomass energy will be promising
Compared with the traditional energy industry, biomass energy has the characteristics of renewable, low pollution and wide distribution. The harsh reality has forced human society to find and develop renewable clean energy, especially in China. Biomass energy can cover all types of fossil energy, so the time for this industry to thrive and develop is mature. The “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan for Biomass Energy Development” previously issued by the National Energy Administration clarified that the total amount of biomass resources such as crop straw and agricultural product processing residues, domestic waste and organic waste that can be used as energy sources is about 460 million annually. Tons of standard coal.
By the end of the “13th Five-Year Plan” in 2020, biomass energy will account for 30% of renewable energy, surpassing the sum of photovoltaic and wind power. It is understood that China’s key biomass industries will achieve large-scale development and become a new type of industry that will drive new urbanization and rural economic development.
Due to China’s vast land and large population, conventional energy cannot fully meet the growing demand of the vast rural areas, and because various conventions on environmental issues are being formulated internationally to limit the emission of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, this is a problem for our country, which is dominated by coal. Very unfavorable. Therefore, based on the existing biomass resources in rural areas, research on new conversion technologies and development of new equipment is not only an urgent need for rural development, but also a need for reducing emissions, protecting the environment, and implementing sustainable development strategies.
Factors affecting the price of biomass fuel pellets
The output of biomass fuel pellets is a factor that determines the price of biomass pellets. A large-volume biomass fuel pellet machine has a large output, and the output is stable to customer demand, and the corresponding price is high.
For example, to make biomass wood pellet fuel with a diameter of 8mm, the wood chip material must be 2-8mm in size and the moisture content is about 10-13%. If the raw material does not meet this condition, it must be processed. Branches or scraps will be used, so a crusher must be used. If the moisture content exceeds 15%, a sawdust dryer must be used. In this way, the initial investment of the production line is also done, and the cost of making biomass fuel pellets is also high.
Biomass fuel market prospects are good
The promotion of biomass pellet fuel will help improve the quality of urban environmental greening, and companies and businesses even hope that their performance can be reused. At present, many wood production companies in Chengdu have begun to develop biomass fuel pellet machines. Many of them are large and medium-sized wood companies. They see the rapid expansion of domestic demand and will increase the supply of biomass pellet fuel to 20 million square meters this year. Good market prospects.
According to WWF estimates, the potential usable amount of global biomass energy reaches 350EJ/year (approximately 8.212 billion tons of standard oil, equivalent to 73% of global energy consumption in 2009). It is estimated that by 2050, 60% of industrial fuels and industrial heating will use biomass energy.
On the basis of summarizing the development history of China’s industry and combining various factors in the new period, the research report of the biomass fuel industry gives a detailed and prudent forecast and argumentation on the development trend of the industry.
