In the upcoming five years, China will become world’s largest energy consumer. Investment projects that
convey clean energy production, such as biogas, are given priority in entering the market. Dutch
companies are actively participating in Chinese projects focussing on converting municipal waste into
biodiesel and biogas. March 24th 2014, China and the Netherlands singed a MoU, initiating a better
collaboration in the field Sustainable Energy. Potential cooperation / international trade topics are: - Landfill gas extraction: export of equipment and technical and management expertise;
- Anaerobic digestion: co-research fermentation process, transfer dry fermentation technology and
biogas plant equipment export /co-manufacturing;
- Biogas upgrading: export of low cost technologies;
- Gasification: supply of new gasifier manufacturing technology and process;
- Cellulose conversion: export enzymes and reaction process;
- Co-combustion: export low capital cost gasifier and O&M;
- Flue gas/ash/slag cleaning/processing: export knowledge and equipment of improved technologies;
- Torrefaction: export equipment and knowledge of improved processes/technologies;
- Sludge drying: export of mature anaerobic digestion technologies and management experience.

5. ENERGY & BIOMASS POLICIES
Targets
• 15% of primary energy from renewables by 2020
• Start construction of additional 120 GW of hydro by 2015
• 100 GW of wind capacity by 2015
• 15 GW of solar capacity by 2015

The general federal policies and laws can be found at the website of Netherlands Enterprise
Agency, http://www.rvo.nl/onderwerpen/internationaal-ondernemen/landenoverzicht/china/wetgeving.This part contains
more detailed information on renewable energy policies.
Due to its enormous economic development, China has become the second largest off-taker of
crude oil in the world. Energy shortages in combination with a growing environmental impact
(also impacting economic growth) has increased awareness and the necessity in China to
stimulate the biobased economy. The Chinese central government has established policies
boosting biomass energy development. These favourable policies may foster an era of
accelerated growth for alternatives to fossil fuels. It is stipulated in the Outline of the 12th
Five-Year Plan (2011-2015) for National Economic and Social Development that by 2015 non-
fossil energy will rise to 11.4 percent in the national total primary energy consumption, energy
consumption per unit of GDP will drop by 16 percent from 2010, and CO2 emission per unit of
GDP will decrease by 17 percent from 2010.
The Chinese government has made the commitment that by 2020 non-fossil energy will
account for 15 percent of its total primary energy consumption, and CO2 emission per unit of
GDP will be 40-45 percent lower than in 2005. As a responsible nation, China will make every
effort to fulfil its commitment. The state has also established a feed-in tariff (FIT) system for
wind and photovoltaic power generation, and a renewable energy development fund.
The Chinese biobased market will keep growing in coming years, especially for biotechnology.
This will create many opportunities for Dutch companies like DSM and Applikon.

The UNDP Human Development Index (HDI) is a composite statistic of life expectancy,
education, and income indices, used to rank countries into four tiers of human development:
very high, high, medium and low. According to HDI, China belongs to the group of “High
human Development” and is ranked 101 out of 186.
