Biomass co-firing: Straw tiger. Marianne Osterkorn. Energy World November 2007, P.19

The Shandong province in eastern China is richly endowed. Three nuclear power plants are planned for the province, while China Light and Power owns a wind farm and numerous coal-fired power stations in the area and is planning more. In 2004, Shandong farms accounted for 25% of the entire nation's exports of grain, fruit, vegetables and other agricultural produce.Farms could find themselves selling their waste product to power stations if the country's first dedicated biomass plant starts operating soon. Some Government officials and environmentalists alarmed by this rapid growth are seeking to add another ingredient to this hyper-activity - straw. Marianne Osterkorn explains.
