“…All these efforts have already remarkably reduced the production cost of cellulosic ethanol. Quite often, to evaluate a specific pre‐treatment method, environmental issues and economic feasibility have to also be taken into consideration,61 besides the sugar loss during pre‐treatment, sugar yield in subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis, and the generation of inhibitors. The future development of cellulosic biorefinery should maximally utilize all the components of cellulosic biomass rather than utilize only a single component to produce a single product,62 meanwhile creating a new biorefinery paradigm to realize simultaneous production of multiple valuable products 3.…”

Energy security and environmental stress force China to seek and develop biofuels as a substitute of fossil energy. Meanwhile, China has great potential to provide a large quantity of feedstocks for biofuel production due to its vast amount of non-food crops, such as tuberous crops, sweet sorghum, cellulosic biomass, and algae. Recently, the study and the industrial-scale production of biofuels, particularly, fuel ethanol and biodiesel, have progressed remarkably in China as a result of government preferential policies and funding supports. We have briefl y reviewed the historical development of biofuels in China with special emphasis on current feedstock utilization and process technology development. The bottlenecks of utilizing various feedstocks have also been analyzed and the prospects for future biofuel development in China have been explored. Biorefi neries integrating reliable, low-cost and suffi cient non-food feedstock supplies with highly effi cient, environmentally friendly process technologies could sustain a bright future for biofuel development in China.
