Abstract

This paper examines noble examples of forestry biomass power plants located in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China, which not only bring in with economic benefits to the people, but also encourage them to plant more and more shrubs, trees, and plants in order to reduce desertification. In addition, as a case study, future utilization potential bioenergy output of mobilizing sandy areas in Naiman Banner County was estimated in this study. Our result shows that with an average transmission distance of 50 km, the collectable biomass resources can produce electric power of 20~30 MW depending upon the efficiency of thermal conversion. This paper address different types of forest residues and energy from various biomass sources, highlight the advantage and shortcoming of each type. It can provide over 543 tons of fuels at least for the biomass power plant every day, which can fully satisfy the needs of power generation of the power plant. At present, the area of sandy plants in Naiman Banner has exceeded by 200 km2 every year, and desertification has been reduced effectively from 6,793.06 km2 (83.71%) in 2007 to 5,284.35 km2 (65.31%) in 2017. The desertification in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China can be solved and minimized by proper harnessing the substantial forestry biomass power plants available in the Naiman Banner County. The energy conversion process from the biomass and the type of energy required plays a vital role in identifying the type of biomass required in this sustainable example of forestry biomass power plants. Its successful practice of utilizing local resources to generate power was discussed through five important questions.
