 China's need for crops may curb biofuel plans - By Wing-Gar Cheng Bloomberg NewsPublished: December 22, 2006. BEIJING: A shortage of farmland and a government priority to grow food crops for China, the most populous country, could hamper plans by the country's oil companies to produce biofuels on a large scale. Rules that China published this week are aimed at preventing "a mad rush of companies jumping on the bandwagon" of making fuels from plants and animals, said Li Baoshan, who heads the materials division at the Science and Technology Ministry.

 An article in Checkbiotech.org reports that China plans to use 6.7 MM tonnes of ethanol and 11 MM tonnes of biodiesel by 2010 in order to meet 10% of their forecast transport fuel demand. China plans to produce ethanol from sweet potato, corn, and cassava, and plans to use animal and vegetable waste oil to make biodiesel.

 China Resorts To Biodiesel Projects To Solve Energy Shortage:  Nearly 7,000 hectares of biodiesel forest will take shape in the northern province of Hebei this year, part of a national campaign to fuel the fast growing economy in a green way.

 China's Low-Key Jump Onto Biofuel Bandwagon:   

 Biolux Sees Huge Biodiesel Potential In China: Austria's Biolux plans to commission the biggest biodiesel plant in China late this year, after delays and record vegetable oils prices that have forced Beijing to wind down its ambitions for the alternative fuel.

 Borderless Biodiesel: Although ethanol is the most high-profile renewable transportation fuel in China, the nation is one of the biggest diesel users in the world, consuming approximately 60 million to how it should look: 70 million tons (16.5 billion to 19 billion gallons) per year, according to Thurmond’s report. Production of biodiesel, however, has not yet caught up with the country’s appetite for diesel. In 2004, China produced only 60,000 tons (16 million gallons) of biodiesel, which is less than 1 percent of the country’s total diesel production in the previous year, according to Thurmond. The gap between fuel production and consumption is growing, and any country in this situation has a serious energy security dilemma and must diversify its energy supplies, Thurmond says.

About Oilgae - Oilgae - Oil & Biodiesel from Algae has a focus on biodiesel production from algae while also discussing alternative energy in general. Algae present an exciting possibility as a feedstock for biodiesel, and when you realise that oil was originally formed from algae - among others - you think "Hey! Why not oil again from algae!"

To facilitate exploration of oil production from algae as well as exploration of other alternative energy avenues, Oilgae provides web links, directory, and related resources for algae-based biofuels / biodiesel along with inputs on new inventions, discoveries & breakthroughs in other alternative energy domains such as solar, wind, nuclear, hydro, geothermal, hydrogen & fuel cells, gravitational, geothemal, human-powered, ocean & wave / tidal energy.
