The main factors currently restricting the development of biomass power generation

是燃料成本。生物质发电需要投入较高的燃料成本，约占总发电成本的三分之二，以补贴后0.75元上网电价估算，燃料收购价格的盈亏平衡点达到了300元/吨左右，而燃料收购价格受市场变化影响较大，极易导致生物质发电企业出现亏损。

It's the cost of fuel. Biomass power generation requires a relatively high fuel cost, which accounts for about two-thirds of the total power generation cost. Based on the subsidized 0.75 yuan grid electricity price, the breakeven point of the fuel purchase price has reached around 300 yuan/ton. However, the fuel purchase price is greatly affected by market changes, which can easily lead to losses for biomass power generation enterprises.

是过度竞争。生物质发电受燃料供应及运输成本影响，具有很强的属地特性，一旦辐射范围内出现地方保护性重复投资或原料恶性竞争，生物质发电企业将难以为继。近年来全国各地兴起建设生物质发电项目的热潮，出现了项目跟风上马项目分布过于密集的现象，埋下恶性竞争的隐患，亟待国家和地方政府的良好规划，平衡好竞争和保护的关系。

It's excessive competition. Biomass power generation is influenced by fuel supply and transportation costs, and has strong territorial characteristics. Once there is local protective duplicate investment or vicious competition in raw materials within the radiation range, biomass power generation enterprises will be difficult to sustain. In recent years, there has been a surge in the construction of biomass power generation projects across the country, resulting in a dense distribution of projects following the trend and creating hidden dangers of vicious competition. It is urgent for national and local governments to make good planning and balance the relationship between competition and protection.

是技术研发。我国在煤电技术核心装备发展取得了较大成就，重大核心装备已基本能够实现自研自产。但在生物质发电技术方面较西方发达国家还存在不少的差距，尤其在生物质燃料采收运输加工储存等专用辅助机械配套方面差距比较明显，仍需迎头赶上。

It's technology research and development. China has made significant achievements in the development of core equipment in coal-fired power technology, and major core equipment has basically been able to achieve self research and self production. However, there are still many gaps in biomass power generation technology compared to developed Western countries, especially in the specialized auxiliary machinery supporting biomass fuel harvesting, transportation, processing and storage, which still need to catch up.

二我国发展生物质发电的主要推动力

II. Main driving forces for the development of biomass power generation in China

经济发展的需求。相关数据显示，到2020年，我国将消耗30亿吨标煤，且随着我国社会经济的不断发展，及受全球碳排放公约的制约，生物质能源的刚性需求量也会日益增大。

The demand for economic development. According to relevant data, by 2020, China will consume 3 billion tons of standard coal, and with the continuous development of China's social economy and the constraints of global carbon emission conventions, the rigid demand for biomass energy will also increase day by day.

能源安全的需求。生物质能源的应用能够有效减少石化能源的消耗，且对环境更友好。生物质能是一种重要的可再生碳能源，作用不可替代。大力开发利用生物质能源，符合国家能源安全的发展要求。

The demand for energy security. The application of biomass energy can effectively reduce the consumption of petrochemical energy and be more environmentally friendly. Biomass energy is an important renewable carbon energy source that cannot be replaced. Vigorously developing and utilizing biomass energy meets the development requirements of national energy security.

生态环保的需求。我国拥有丰富的生物质秸秆，很大部分没有得到充分利用，被当作农作物废弃物焚烧，既形成浪费，又造成环境污染。大力发展生物质发电，经济效益社会效益环保效益均很可观。

The demand for ecological and environmental protection. China has abundant biomass straw, which has not been fully utilized and is burned as crop waste, resulting in both waste and environmental pollution. Vigorously developing biomass power generation has significant economic, social, and environmental benefits.

三优化生物质发电行业发展的主要措施

Main Measures for Optimizing the Development of the Biomass Power Generation Industry

加大政策扶持力度。与其它清洁能源发电相比，生物质发电存在运行成本过高抗市场风险能力差的弱势，需要国家的政策扶持以存发展。

Increase policy support efforts. Compared with other clean energy power generation, biomass power generation has a disadvantage of high operating costs and poor market risk resistance, which requires national policy support for its development.

加大技术研发投入。加大生物质发电技术领域的科研投入，提高国产核心装备及辅助装备的技术水平和自给自足，缩小与发达国家水平的差距，是降低生物质发电企业项目投资和运行成本提高企业赢利能力促进行业健康持续发展的根本。

Increase investment in technological research and development. Increasing scientific research investment in the field of biomass power generation technology, improving the technical level and self-sufficiency of domestic core and auxiliary equipment, and narrowing the gap with advanced levels in developed countries are fundamental to reducing project investment and operating costs of biomass power generation enterprises, improving their profitability, and promoting healthy and sustainable development of the industry.

严格市场准入审批。严格生物质发电项目的审核，避免重复投资和过度竞争，有利于行业的健康发展。同时，联合余热利用项目的热电联供模式相较纯发电模式具有更好的能源利用效率，应得到更多的倡导和推广。

Strict market access approval. Strict review of biomass power generation projects, avoiding duplicate investment and excessive competition, is conducive to the healthy development of the industry. At the same time, the cogeneration mode of the joint waste heat utilization project has better energy utilization efficiency compared to the pure power generation mode, and should be advocated and promoted more.
