Abstract
The sustained development of China's national economy asks for a growing trend on the need of energy. However, the status of energy supply seems dim for the amount of energy resource for each person in China is less than half of that by the world average level. It is estimated that the consumption of the primary energy will reach 3 billion tce in 2020, which would result in a much larger gap between supply and demand. So to vigorously develop the biomass energy and increase the proportion of renewable energy in the energy structure are quite important to China's sustainable development and the national energy security in the future. The resources, technologies and relevant policies of China's biomass energy are introduced and the technical path and strategy planning for promoting the development of biomass energy in China are also discussed in this paper.
