Biogas Handbook

Abstract In line with the ever increasing price of energy, biomass energy sources such as biogas have entered a new phase of development. Household biogas technology has enjoyed a period of rapid development, and the technology is continuing to mature, with more varieties and models developing, and the field of use becoming ever wider. In order to assist more peasants to easily choose an appropriate digester, this book has been written as a reference to aid the comprehensive use of biogas and its digesters. This book features a systematic and detailed explanation of the types and application environments of digesters, construction and commissioning of digesters, use and management of biogas, and the comprehensive holistic use of gas. This book is designed for farmers and friends interested in using biogas.

Demonstration Project Biogas Power Generation from Agricultural and Herding Waste

Abstract The project belongs to the competitive grants sub-activities of the priority demonstration projects at the provincial level. After the project put into operation, the first phase project will produce daily about 10,000 cubic meters of biogas with the installed capacity of 1MW, daily power generation of 20,000 kWh, annual power generation of 7.5 million kWh, daily production of 8 tons of solid organic fertilizer, and daily production of 200 tons of liquid organic fertilizer. At the same time, the annual methane emission reduction can reach nearly 0.9 million cubic meters equivalent to reducing CO2 emissions of 3,240 tons / year.

Research on Cogeneration Policy in Shanghai

Abstract Shanghai municipal government seeks to increase its natural gas consumption through the development of clean cogeneration, also known as combined heat and power (CHP). In the report ‘Research on Cogeneration policy in Shanghai,’ the Shanghai Energy Conservation Supervision Center (SECSC) analyzed the technical, policy and economic barriers to expand the use of clean cogeneration and recommended policy options for cogeneration development in Shanghai.

The Electric Car Battery: Sustainability in the Supply Chain

Abstract The supply chain of the electric car battery is faced with serious sustainability challenges. This is the conclusion of the SOMO report “The electric car battery; sustainability in the supply chain”. The expected profits from lithium, one of the basic materials for the electric car battery, already create social tensions in Bolivia, while worker’s rights are violated at battery manufacturing plants in China. These issues need to be taken into account when companies and politicians discuss the costs and benefits of the electric car.

A 21st Century Scramble: South Africa, China and Rare Earths Metals Industry

Abstract The first CCS Discussion Paper for 2012 analyses the peculiar structure of the rare earth elements (REE) industry, a sector dominated by China, and the global implications of current upheavals within the sector, especially as they concern South Africa’s (re)emerging rare earths production. Rare earths are used in a range of products, not least so in the so-called ‘green technologies’ such as energy-saving light bulbs or windmills. The author is a PhD student in politics at the University of Bristol.  His doctoral research concerns the impact of the rise of China on the global developmental political economy, centring on extractive industries in Africa and Latin America. This paper is a parallel publication with the South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA) and was published also as SAIIA Occasional Paper 113.

Steps Towards a Wind Resource Concession Approach in China

Abstract In the past, China has typically met its increased demands for electricity by burning more coal, but this has had very serious environmental consequences. The country has abundant wind resources, and the environmental benefits of utilizing this renewable resource are likely to be considerable. In order to spur its development, it has been proposed that the wind resource be treated much like oil or natural gas—and that Wind Resource Concessions (WRC) be established and granted to developers offering the most attractive bidding prices. This report addresses the potential use of the WRC approach within China. Both the conventional energy business and renewable energy business are affected by WRC. Their concerns are described, and the single most problematic aspect of wind power development—its high cost with respect to alternatives—is then addressed. Wind power will require governmental support, and this report describes potential policy approaches for providing such support, and for developing the WRC program.
