Guangzhou, Guangdong -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/22/2011 -- CCM’s September Issue of Industrial Biotechnology China News has come out recently, revealing there is huge potential in China’s cellulosic ethanol market.

Cellulosic ethanol, representing a high-end clean energy, can replace the traditional grain ethanol. In fact, Japanese nuclear accident makes people concern more about the development of clean power. People are attracted by cellulosic ethanol because of its advantage of the widespread raw materials without pollution.

The Chinese government has repeatedly stressed the importance of cellulosic ethanol industry. Now the Chinese government will increase the investment of R & D in cellulosic ethanol's production technology, in order to speed up the cellulosic ethanol industrialization during 2011-2015, revealed by an expert who participates in the edition of "Biomass Development in the Twelfth Five -Year Plan".

The cellulosic ethanol industry will not only create 6 million job opportunities in China, but it will also bring USD5 billion revenue from the cellulosic ethanol market. It is reported that cellulosic ethanol will replace 31 million tonnes of gasoline per year, which can reduce 10% of the gasoline import in China. The report believes that China's enterprises will be the main beneficiaries in the cellulosic ethanol value chain, including construction of the cellulosic ethanol production line in domestic market and the potential international market with value of USD15 billion.

It is estimated that the development of cellulosic ethanol is urgently required in China in the future, especially the resources of gasoline that become rare and the serious environmental deterioration.
