As China's modernization drive the acceleration of the pace of the rapid increase in energy demand by its coal, oil and other resources reserves and mining capacity constraints, our country is faced with the situation of shortage of energy supply. At the same time, the traditional economic development pattern in China is based on huge amount of natural resources consumption which makes the regeneration rate of the natural resources far behind the speed of economic development, not only caused a serious shortage of natural resources, but also brings serious pollution problems, the development of economic modernization in China have paid a high environmental price. For this reason, development of bio-diesel this new renewable clean energy to the optimization of China's energy structure and mitigate the shortage of energy supply, reduce environmental pollution and accelerate of economic development is of great significance.Bio-diesel industry in China is one of the emerging new industries, and this research gave a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the development of bio-diesel industry in China and tried to explain the operation pattern of this industry. First, based on the relevant literature on the development of bio-diesel industry at home and abroad, this paper showed an overview of the bio-diesel industrial development of the status quo and defined the bio-diesel industry connotations. Then this paper analyzed the theoretical basis of the bio-diesel industry by using the theory of industrial ecology, the theory of sustainable development, technological innovation and the theory of government behavior. In the second part, this paper presented the detailed market situation of bio-diesel products, production capacity and the use of bio-diesel products in Germany and introduced a series of successful practical experience in the operation of bio-diesel industry in Germany. Thirdly, on the basis of in-depth analysis of bio-diesel industry characteristics, status and prospects for developments in China, this paper carried out a detailed exposition of the bio-diesel industry chain analysis from two aspects including the raw material supply and marketing organization. In addition, an example of the demonstration project of producing bio-diesel from Jatropha curcas in Guizhou Province was used to indicate the market performance of bio-diesel industry. In the end, some policy recommendations with respect to law making and regulation were suggested in this paper referring to the relevant policies to promote bio-diesel industry in the European Union and the United States and other countries. |
