Assessment of Electric Power Generation Potential of Typical Forestry Biomass Resources in China

Carrying on the research of potential assessment of forestry biomass power generation in china systematically is significant not only theoretically but also realistically; it can guide the industry layout and reduce the operational costs of forestry biomass power generation in China. To assess the collectable amounts and power generation potential of forestry biomass resources in China, this paper selected the forestry residues resources as the research objects, determined the lower heating value and assessed the annual average power generation potential from 2011 to 2013. The results showed that the maximum power generation potential of forestry biomass resources was 7125.31MW. The power generation potential with more than 500MW was in Guangxi, Yunnan, Fujian and Guangdong, accounting for 43.41% of the total forestry biomass power generation potential.
