Abstract:
With offering clean energy, reducing rural environmental pollution, decreasing greenhouse gas emissions such as CO
2 and CH
4, and therefore moderating the tendency of the global warming, large and middle-scale biogas project is a key program to renewable energy construction in China. The greenhouse gas mitigation benefits of large and middle-scale biogas project from 1996 to 2005 were analyzed. The results show that the large and middle-scale biogas project can reduce the discharge of CO
2 0.54×10
6~1.51×10
6 t and CH
4 1.53×10
5 t (CO
2 equivalent), and bring economic income of 1.16×10
8~2.69×10
8 Yuan(RMB) in 2005. According to Mid-and Long-Term Development Programming for Renewable Energy, the predicting results indicate that the CO
2 emission reduction of large and middle-scale biogas project can reach 0.56×10
7~ 1.17×10
7 t/a and 1.95×10
7~5.99×10
8 t/a, and CH
4 emission reduction can reach 1.79×10
6 t/a and 6.28×10
6 t/a, and the economic benefits are up to 0.17×10
9~3.00×10
10 Yuan/a and 0.41×10
10~1.05×10
10 Yuan/a in 2010 and 2020, respectively. The large and middle-scale biogas project construction is an effective measure to improve rural environment, reduce the discharge of greenhouse gas and relieve the tendency of the global warming in China.
