I. Background The difference in the rate of discovery of oil and the rate of oil use in the world Source:Workshop-seminar, May, 2005, MEKARN-CTU. Implications for livestock production of the decline in world oil reserves. R A Leng and T R Preston.

5 I. Background China imported 0.2 percent of the total petroleum consumption in the world in 1990, while imported 5.1 percent of that in (It was increased by 25-folds in 13 years.) China share about 40 percent of world newly increase of petroleum consumption.

6 I. Background China’s Petroleum Balance in Selected Years
正是由于国内成品油价格调整滞后“牺牲”了各大炼厂的利益，目前各炼厂生产积极性均不高，从而导致社会局部供应吃紧，进口减少、出口加大的奇怪现象。2005年1-6月份，国内成品油进口量1573万吨，同比下降20.9%；出口量758万吨，同比增长48.6%；出口金额31.5亿美元，同比增长96.9%。 [石化炼焦]炼油行业　静待定价机制改革-长江证券  卞曙光 Data in 2005 is expected China’s Petroleum Balance in Selected Years

7 I. Background In 2004, China’s oil consumption was approximately 318 million tons，accounting for 23% of the consumption of primary resource. According to IEA statistics, China is the 2nd largest oil consumer in the world.

16 I. Background The income of per-capita urban residents grew by
整体来看，2004年农民增收主要得益于“涨价增收”和“增产增收”。专家分析，2005年，由于农民增收的支撑基础较为脆弱，农民增收前景不容乐观。国务院发展研究中心农业部专家崔晓黎预测：2005年农民增收的幅度和绝对量不会比2004年大，应该低于6％ The income of per-capita urban residents grew by 9.3 % in 2003, but only 4.3% for rural residents

17 II. Biomass resources In 1990s, more than 80 percent of ethanol was made from grains including corn, cassava, rice etc. About 10% from sugar, 6% from paper pulp waste residue, and the rest from ethylene by synthetic process

18 Feedstock for bioethanol production
In 2001 – 2003, about 500 M tons of grain was produced averagely in a year During the same period, about 30 – 35 M tons of potato-typed products was produced averagely in a year Sugar cane: average annual production during 2000 – 2003 was 75 M tons.

19 II. Biomass resources By the end of 2004, the proportion had changed a lot, about 48% from corn, 19% from sugar, and the rest (33%) from cassava.  中国食品产业网 年全国酒精产量和市场格局预测

32 Expansion of Gasohol application
By the end of 2005, the total E10 consumption will reach more than 10 million ton, which equals about 1/4 of total gasoline consumption Totally Partially 扩大试点范围包括黑龙江、吉林、辽宁、河南、安徽 5省及湖北、山东、河北和江苏 4省的部分地区。 据悉 ,此次扩大试点车用乙醇汽油所需变性燃料乙醇包括吉林燃料乙醇有限责任公司 3 0万吨 /年 (一期 )、河南天冠集团 3 0万吨 /年、安徽丰原生物化学股份有限公司 3 2万吨 /年和黑龙江华润 酒精有限公司已投产的 1 0万吨 /年变性燃料乙醇。 Source:Economic Information Daily & Business Tourism Daily

33 Biodiesel So far specification and incentive policy on biodiesel has not been issued, it is expected to be published soon; A few small plants (capacity from 5 to 20 thousand tons per year) had been built and are running for biodiesel production; The feedstock used for biodiesel production include waste cooking oil, some oil from oily plant; Part of biodiesel products were exported abroad; A lot of technological researches are being conducted.

34 IV. National plan on enewable energy development
By 2020, power generation by renewable energy will reach 100 GW, and take up to 10% of the total, among which, wind power, small hydropower, and biomass fueled power will be 20 GW, 50 GW, and 20 GW, respectively. By 2020, annual production capacity of liquid biofuels(ethanol & biodiesel) will reach 11 M tons. Chinese law on renewable energy has been issued.

35 IV. National plan on renewable energy development
As forecasted, if maintaining the existing vehicles structure and fuel consumption of each vehicle, about 100 M vehicles will be used and 228 M tons of gasoline and diesel will be consumed in China in 2020. Blending 10% of biofuels in fossil gasoline and diesel in 2020, then the biofuels demand will reach 22.8 M tons. That is, the targeted capacity(11M tons) at the national development plan will only satisfy about 50% of the total consumption (when blending 10% in all the used fuels).

36 IV. National plan on renewable energy development
Considering the food security, it is better to use non-food related crops as the material for bioethanol production. According to different local situation, efforts should be made on bioethanol production with multiple types of raw materials. To promote the biofuel production and application in a greater efforts, such as enlarging the planed target on bioethanol production (80% even all provinces will use blended gasoline).

37 V. Conclusions The driving force of developing bio-fuels includes petroleum shortage, air pollution and developing rural economy; Considering the safety of grain supply, China will develop fuel ethanol step by step, and encourage the development of ethanol production from non-grain substrate; China government has been paying more and more attention on the substitute energy, specially renewable energy, including biofuels.
