Empirical Analysis on Peasant Households' Willingness of Using Solid Biomass Fuel

Abstract:

The energy crisis and worsening ecological environment has become the biggest threats to human life. Using solid biomass fuel can effectively relieve these hazards. According to empirical analysis on peasant households' willingness of using solid biomass fuel, the results show that age、education and incomes of the farmers' families, energy satisfaction ,energy policies, farmers for solid biomass fuel concept cognitive degree, farmer's awareness of environmental protection and safety consciousness biomass fuel for farmers to buy solid has significant influence. Therefore it is suggested that implementing energy subsidies and strengthen the concept of product positioning that can expand propaganda in solid biomass energy and promote the impact peasant biomass fuel industry development of solid.
