Is Cornstalk a Best Substitute for Corn in Bioenergy Production in China?

Abstract:

The scarcity of the fossil fuels and the large amount of energy consumption in the world trigger the development of bioenergy. Bioenergy is friendly to the environment and could benefit the human being and the whole society. This paper analyzes the cornstalk processing for the bioenergy in China. It explores the feasibility of the cornstalk using in the bioenergy production from the supply side and the demand side. The effects of the cornstalk used for bioenergy production are investigated. Finally, the conclusion is made that the cornstalk is a best substitute for bioenergy production in China.
