Energy plants in the coastal zone of China: Category, distribution and development
Fossil fuel is running out day by day and wide plantation of energy plants is very promising to solve future energy crisis. However, China has to feed 22% of the world population but occupies less than 10% global arable lands. Therefore exploiting 2,000,000Â ha of non-agricultural coastal land is imperative. This article shows the category and unbalanced distribution of terrestrial and marine energy plants in the coastal zone, and points out five ways (biodiesel, bioethanol, methane, direct combustion and cell fuel) to utilize them. Also the development and progress made in each way is illustrated. At last, several practical suggestions are offered for the future exploitation of coastal energy plants for the globe.
