The Effects of Biomass Solid Waste Resources Technology in Economic Development

In China, more than 1billion tons biomass solid waste containing lignocellulose (such as stalks, straws and landscaping waste etc) is produced. This essay analyzes advantages and disadvantages about landfill, gasification, incineration and biodegradation. Although they have been studied for several decades, there are no efficient treatment processes in use. Only biodegradation will be the environmentally friendly technology. Combining with the technological development, managements and policies also play a great importance role in environmental protection. The government enacts laws and policies etc and supervises to ensure effective implementation by using certain measures. To a certain extent, environmental protection will hinder the rapid economic growth. But good environmental conditions will lead to high-yield low-pollution industries which are more profitable. In this essay, tax and subsidy policies, environmental awareness, green consumption and international cooperation etc are mentioned. So if we can balance relationship between biomass solid waste resources technology, managements, policies and economic development, China will realize leapfrog development in the near future.
