A market based development strategy for biomass and bioenergy in China

This paper evaluates the current level of commercialization of some kinds of developing bioenergy technologies in China on the basis of the criteria for technology commercialization, analyzes factors that restrict bioenergy technologies, and proposes ways to overcome barriers and promote bioenergy development. Commercialization, the great power driving technology development, is the basic measure of transferring scientific achievement into productivity. Experience shows that commercialization of new technology not only perfects the performance of the technology but also accelerates society's productive power development, which then meets demands of the national economy and of people's material and cultural life. These issues concern the Chinese government and are the topic of this paper. (author)
