Abstract:
      As the main composition of biomass energy industry,the research on suitability of crop straws power generation has great importance in the development of renewable energy industry in China.Based on the analysis of influence factors,8 indexes including farmland amount,farmland amount change,crop straw quantity,crop straw quantity change,power consumption,power consumption increase rate,crop straw density and labor cost were selected to evaluate the regional suitability of crop straw power generation in China according to the data of China Statistical Yearbook from 1989~2008.The final results indicated that there existed great difference in the suitability of crop straw power generation in China,the most suitable regions of crop straw power generation was middle and northeast China,including Henan,Shandong,Anhui,Jiangsu,Hebei,Heilongjiang and Jilin,both of which were traditional agriculture regions;The suitability of east and northwest China were much lower due to the lack of enough crop straw materials.By dividing China into five regions named highly suitable region,suitable region,normal region,subsuitable region and unsuitable region,the suitability of crop straw power generation in China was clearly illustrated.
