Market analysis and policy research for biomass briquetting in China

Background

Briquetting is the process of converting low bulk density biomass into high density fuel briquettes that offer a high concentration of energy. As a greenhouse gas neutral replacement for conventional fossil fuels biomass briquettes will take on increasing importance in China’s next five-year plan. Currently the biomass briquette industry is underdeveloped due to a lack of favourable policies encouraging it.

Purpose

To accelerate the development of the biomass briquette industry in China with a study that analyzes the status quo and makes policy recommendations for how it can be more effectively promoted
