Research on comprehensive evaluation of biomass energy using performance in rural areas

Abstract

It is very important to save energy and to achieve emission reduction for China. On the basis of analysis of rural biomass resources utilization forms and status, a rural biomass resources use synthetic effectiveness evaluation index system is established. The comprehensive evaluation method based on nonlinear programming and NLP-ESM is constructed. Evaluation weights are converted into solving a nonlinear programming problem. The comprehensive evaluation result shows that the best choice for rural energy is methane. This evaluation result has very important reference values for the relevant decision-makers to establish rural energy and biomass resources developing planning. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
