生物质能与节能减排及低碳经济

Bioenergy, reduction of energy consumption and waste discharge, and low-carbon economy

生物质(Biomass,原意生物量)一词出自生态学,现已成为生物质能和生物基材料的惟一可再生性原料的专用词。生物质可部分替代化石能源,减少化石能源使用产生的温室气体及污染物。我国农业和农村在节能减排中应有所作为。农业是惟一生产生物质的产业,在我国的节能减排及向低碳经济战略转型中,生物质能可发挥重大作用,也能成为生态农业的新内涵。

The term ‘biomass’ has been frequently used in recent years. Borrowing from ecology, it refers to bio-energy and bio-based materials which can significantly substitute for fossil fuel and reduce GHG （green house gases） emission. China’s agricul- ture is a major consumer of fossil fuel and releaser of GHG. It may contribute to the less energy consumption and GHG emission in the nation. Agriculture is a unique industry that produces biomass—a renewable feedstuff of bioenergy. In the transition period from conventional high-carbon economy to low-carbon economy, bioenergy plays an important role in enriching China’s eco-agriculture.
