Challenges and suggestions for biodiesel industry in China
Biodiesel has better environmental performance,storage and transportation safety,and engine start performance.The four types of biodiesel feedstock are mainly edible oils and fats,non-food oils and fats,waste oils and fats or algal oils and fats,and carbon dioxide or biomass.At present,second generation biodiesel technology is the focus of competition among technology vendors in various countries.China has released a series of policies to support the development of biodiesel industry,biodiesel technology is becoming more mature,and pilot applications have been completed in many provinces.There still are such shortcomings and weaknesses as the supply of raw materials is not sufficient and unstable,which restricts the scale of industrial development,there is still room for improvement in the synergy of multi-sectoral and complementary policies,the scale of the Chinese market has not been fully stimulated resulting in a large number of exports,the standard system of bio-based characteristics and high content products is still not sound,and catalyst and process enhancement technology become the key to quality improvement and upgrading.It is suggested that policy support,market cultivation,standardization,and technological innovation should be comprehensively applied to accelerate the healthy and sustainable development of China's biodiesel industry.
