Recommendations for green development of motor biofuel industry in China: A review

Abstract

Motor biofuel is one kind of clean and sustainable fuel extracted from living organisms or obtained by the transformation of organisms, which can be used to replace fossil fuels. Nowadays, motor biofuel is an important direction for the development and utilization of renewable energy. More attention has been given to the development and promotion of motor biofuel and relative technologies all over the world. This research introduced the history of motor biofuel, the classification of motor biofuel as well as the strategies and policies made domestically and internationally in order to promote the development of motor biofuel, and also pointed out some of the urgent problems faced during the development of motor biofuels and put forward some suggestions for the future development of motor biofuel in China.

Mechanism of Response of Watershed Water Quality to Agriculture Land-Use Changes in a Typical Fuel Ethanol Raw Material Planting Area—A Case Study on Guangxi Province, China

“…In China, the technology of biofuel ethanol production with corn and other foods as raw materials was mature and led to good economic benefits [ 20 ]. Corn ethanol production capacity accounted for 57% of the total [ 21 ]. However, with the increase in the population and fuel ethanol demand, competition emerged between raw materials, such as corn, and food security [ 22 ].…”

Agricultural Structures Management Based on Nonpoint Source Pollution Control in Typical Fuel Ethanol Raw Material Planting Area

“…In China, the production technology of biofuel ethanol using maize as raw materials was mature and has good economic benefits [17]. Maize ethanol production capacity accounted for about 57% of China's total ethanol production capacity [18]. Heilongjiang Province had the largest area of maize cultivation in China, maize acreage accounted for 14% of China's maize acreage [19].…”
