Report on the country team session

Brief evaluation

of the domestic biogas sector in

China

Three most relevant STRENGTHS

Varity in
Raw materials source: manure, waste straw, kitchen waste, etc; Application in many fields in countryside, school, etc; Benefits in energy, environment and economic development

Industrial nearly to be developed

Research by universities, research institutes, etc. Industrial for the project design and construction Technology innovation for different regions, materials, etc.

Systematic Policy and regulatory framework

Government policy and financial support International cooperation

Standard in technology, equipment, etc,

Three most relevant WEAKNESSES

Operation unsustainable
Biogas service system is not well development and marketable
Operation in winter in northern china is difficult Rural development bring to the new challenge

Deeply relying on the government

Financial support mainly relying on the government Governmental input is not sufficient, the financial input is inefficient. Awareness to develop biogas is not

Industrial development is not scaled up

Technology innovation lake of the self motivated Criteria to access the industrial is low

Three most relevant OPPORTUNITIES

More attention to biogas development from government
Marco attention from the central government since the 18th communist party conference Policy and regulatory framework is being developed

Additional benefit extend to more aspects

Food safety needs Cost increase in fertilizer and pesticide

Benefits to the GHG reduction to get other potential financial

support

Industrial development quickly to provide the better service

Three most relevant THREATS

Safety for the constructed biogas Rural urbanization Scaled up Livestock farm

Action points to overcome weaknesses

Improve the awareness of the biogas development benefit for the rural area in the whole society Improve the governmental subsidy application approach

subsidy in end user driven),

Diversified Financial support Marketable mechanism can be incorperated in the

construction and operation

Action points to overcome threats

Rural centralized biogas supply in rural area More attention to the capacity building for the

governmental officials, operators, etc. in the aspects like

safety

Develop biogas service system
