Abstract

This paper systematically collects and sorts out China polices of biomass power generation policy, mainly from 2006 to 2012, based on the actual demand of the biomass power generation project. According to the effect of the policy implementation, it analyzes the problems about the policies, such as the development goal being too large, tax policies not being easy to implement, the relevance amongst some policies being poor, and provides some suggestions. Finally, it concludes that biomass power generation should be developed steadily in China, and fiscal supporting should not be introduced any more.
