China's biomass briquette fuel

What is it about?

The current study took Henan Wufeng New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. as an example to investigate the large-scale steam heating system with biomass briquette fuel in Henan, China. Drawn on several months of field research, the economic cost and greenhouse gas emissions for peanut shell straw collection, transportation, storage and burning of Wufeng Company were analyzed in 2021. Moreover, the economic cost and greenhouse gas emission were used as evaluation indicators to evaluate the biomass molding fuel supply system systemically. Economic analysis shows that the steam heating system can make a profit of 1.72×106 yuan per year, and the input-output ratio (ROI) is 93.87%, which is much higher than the benchmark input-output ratio (30%). The very high ROI indicates that the system is difficult to operate in an economically feasible manner. Greenhouse gas emission（GHG）analysis demonstrates that under the same heating level, the system can save 4.42×107kg of standard coal and reduce the 1.25×105 tCO2eq emissions of greenhouse gases to the environment, which has significant environmental benefits. Taken together, the government should adopt effective economic policies to promote the efficient use of biomass straw and support biomass straw recycling and heating enterprises.
