【 摘 要 】

This paper aims to quantify the biomass energy potential from agriculture, analyze composition and explore evolutionary trend based on the data of 31 Chinese provinces from 1993 to 2016. The results show that: (1) China's biomass energy potential from agriculture increased from 139.42 million metric tons of coal equivalent (Mtce) in 1993 to 196.51 Mtce in 2016, with an average annual growth of 1.57% during the 24-yr period; (2) In terms of resource composition, biomass energy potential from agriculture mainly derived from the straws of rice, wheat and maize that were as high as 60.97% in all different kinds of biomass energy; (3) In terms of evolutionary trend, the biomass energy potential from agriculture displayed an increasing trend, but disparities among the provinces began widening gradually.
