Status and trend of the swine biogas supply chain in poyang lake ecological economic zone

Abstract

Based on the status of swine biogas supply chain in Poyang Lake Ecological Economic Zone, two different supply chain mode were established which are household biogas and intensive swine biogas in the paper. Each node of two supply chain was offered. After processing the data from statistics, documentary investigation and visiting on-the-spot, the trend of it was analyzed by quantitative methods which the results showed that the transform from the household to joint household and livestock production biogas engineering is inevitable due to the change of pig culture structure. Then the paper described that the swine biogas supply chain in Poyang Lake Ecological Economic Zone would be promoted by the diversification of raw material, high-value-use of biogas and by products, construction of service systems, clean development mechanism and distributed energy. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
