Development of the Straw Based Power Generation in China: A Critical Analysis

Article Preview

Abstract:

The straw-based power generation, as a mature new energy utilization method, has been widely used in different countries. In this paper, we review the development of the straw-based power generation in China and divide it into three stages, namely, research and experimental stage, rapid developing stage and mature stage. Based on the analysis, it is found out that the straw-based power generation in China is now faced with profit loss. The underlying reasons include the high price of straw fuel, high operation and maintenance cost, large investment, low capacity utilization rate and high rate of power consumption in the production. We also propose the managerial suggestions to address the problems.
