In order to ensure the steady development of Biomass gasification industry, the Chinese govern­ment issued a series of laws, regulations and policy measures to actively promote the development of biomass gasification technology.

4.3.9.1 Guide public awareness

China promulgated the “New Energy Law”, “renewable energy industry catalogue” in 2005, issued the “Renewable Energy Law”, “renewable energy for the generation of regulations”, “renewable energy prices and cost-sharing management pilot scheme” and “Renewable energy development special fund Interim Measures” in 2006. A sound legal framework has been estab­lished through a series of laws and regulations. Then the management of various aspects, such as energy development, investment, production and consumption can be conducted under the protection of the law. The “long-term renewable energy development plan” released in November 2007 developed a specific strategy and goals for sustainable energy development, and clearly proposed taking advantage of biogas and waste gasification technology to improve the proportion of gas used in rural areas. What’s more, it also identified the biomass gasification technology as an important measure to solve the problem of rural waste and industrial organic waste. Since then, the biomass gasification technology has developed into a new stage.
