China has set the goal of attaining one percent of its renewable energy generation through bioenergy in 2020.
The development of bioenergy in China is needed to meet the rising energy demand.[according to whom?]
Several institutions are involved in this development, most notably the Asian Development Bank and China's Ministry of Agriculture. There is also an added incentive to develop the bioenergy sector which is to increase the development of the rural agricultural sector.
As of 2005, bioenergy use has reached more than 20 million households in the rural areas, with methane gas as the main biofuel. Also more than 4000 bioenergy facilities produce 8 billion cubic metres every year of methane gas. By 2006 20% of "gasoline" consumed was actually a 10% ethanol-gasoline blend. (People's Daily Online) As of 2010, electricity generation by bioenergy is expected to reach 5 GW, and 30 GW by 2020. The annual use of methane gas is expected to be 19 cubic kilometers by 2010, and 40 cubic kilometers by 2020.
China is the world's third-largest producer of ethanol, after Brazil and the United States.(RFA)
Although only 0.71% of the country's grain yield (3.366 million tons of grain) in 2006 was used for production of ethanol, concern has been expressed over potential conflicts between demands for food and fuel, as crop prices rose in late 2006.[1][permanent dead link]
As of at least 2023, China is both the world's largest producer and largest consumer of household biogas.[1]: 172 As of 2023, more than 30 million rural Chinese households use biogas digesters.[1]: 172
