“…For example, soil carbon on croplands is a key component of terrestrial carbon storage. In China, croplands (over 130 M ha) contain 730 (329–1095) Tg C in the topsoil and are estimated to have sequestrated carbon at a rate of about 24.3 (11.0–36.5) Tg C yr −1 over the last 30 years (Yu et al ., , ). Residue removal may lead to the loss of soil organic carbon, which can be minimized by improved management practices such as nitrogen fertilizer application, straw retention and incorporation and conservation tillage.…”

Biomass has been widely recognized as an important energy source with high potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while minimizing environmental pollution. In this study, we employ the Global Change Assessment Model to estimate the potential of agricultural and forestry residue biomass for energy production in China. Potential availability of residue biomass as an energy source was analyzed for the 21st century under different climate policy scenarios. Currently, the amount of total annual residue biomass, averaged over [2003][2004][2005][2006][2007], is around 15 519 PJ in China, consisting of 10 818 PJ from agriculture residues (70%) and 4701 PJ forestry residues (30%). We estimate that 12 693 PJ of the total biomass is available for energy production, with 66% derived from agricultural residue and 34% from forestry residue. Most of the available residue is from south central China (3347 PJ), east China (2862 PJ) and south-west China (2229 PJ), which combined exceeds 66% of the total national biomass. Under the reference scenario without carbon tax, the potential availability of residue biomass for energy production is projected to be 3380 PJ by 2050 and 4108 PJ by 2095, respectively. When carbon tax is imposed, biomass availability increases substantially. For the CCS 450 ppm scenario, availability of biomass increases to 9002 PJ (2050) and 11 524 PJ (2095), respectively. For the 450 ppm scenario without CCS, 9183 (2050) and 11 150 PJ (2095) residue biomass, respectively, is projected to be available. Moreover, the implementation of CCS will have a little impact on the supply of residue biomass after 2035. Our results suggest that residue biomass has the potential to be an important component in China's sustainable energy production portfolio. As a low carbon emission energy source, climate change policies that involve carbon tariff and CCS technology promote the use of residue biomass for energy production in a low carbon-constrained world.

“…In their two-series papers, Yu et al dealt with the design and analysis of geographic distribution of biomass based power plants and satellite storages in China. In the first paper Yu et al (2011) developed a new methodology to find the optimum geographic distribution of biomass power plant and its satellite storages with minimum collection costs considering China's specific delivery modes. A mathematical model optimizes the number of storages while GIS is used to determine the optimal locations among a number of candidate sites.…”

Energy production from biomass is an alternative and additive way to fossil fuel based energy production to reduce the dependency on limited fossil fuel sources and mitigate the harmful environmental impacts of these systems. One of the major challenges in establishing efficient renewable energy systems is the complex supply chain structure in an uncertain decision environment, various decisions to be made and different conflicting criteria/objectives. This study describes the key issues in decision making for biomass to energy supply chains such as decision levels, uncertainty and sustainability concepts. It also provides a comprehensive review and systematic classification of the current literature on decision making approaches for design, management and operation of biomass to energy supply chains. This study allows readers to identify the decision making methods that satisfy the problem specific requirements and offer a clear vision of the advances in the field.

“…According to this country's "The 12th Five Year Plan for Renewable Energy Development", electricity generated by biomass will have reached a total installed capacity of 13 GW by 2015. This value will have been doubled by 2020, and is supposed to account for 4% of the total energy consumption [46,47].…”

This paper presents a new approach to solve the multi-criteria group decision making (MCGDM) problem where criteria values take the form of 2-tuple linguistic information. Firstly, a 2-tuple hybrid ordered weighted geometric (THOWG) operator is proposed, which synthetically considers the importance of both individual and the ordered position so as to overcome the defects of existing operators. Secondly, combining the advantages of the cloud model and 2-tuple linguistic variable, a new generating cloud method is proposed to transform 2-tuple linguistic variables into clouds. Thirdly, we further define some new cloud algorithms, such as cloud possibility degree and cloud support degree which can be respectively used to compare clouds and determine the criteria weights. Furthermore, a new approach for 2-tuple linguistic group decision making is presented on the basis of the THOWG operator, the improved generating cloud method as well as the new cloud algorithms. Finally, an example of assessing the social effects of biomass power plants (BPPS) is illustrated to verify the application and feasible of the developed approach, and a comparative analysis is also conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
