Discussion on the Development of Forestry Bioenergy in East China Sea Areas

Recently affected both by high oil prices continue to run and environmental pollution and global climate change, the world set off a new round of biomass energy development and utilization. In China the situation that shortage of power seems getting much more serious. But it is well known that less arable land is one of China´s basic national conditions. In this context shoreline and other marginal lands to cultivate energy crops for biomass energy play an important role in the field. However in the past two decades the East China Sea environment has faced huge stresses from anthropogenic activities and population growth in the Yangtze River drainage basin and the coastal areas. In order to cope with these environmental problems and provide alternative energy, planting trees is of importance and significance for improving environment and producing renewable biomass energy in the region. Moreover biomass plantations are an effective way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provide rural people with a diversified source of income and products with multiple uses.
