Mountains of peanut shells and dead corn stocks all towed in by local farmers and traded for a small fee. It’s good for the peasants영세농부, this woman says, it makes us richer.

These peanut shells are dried along with corn stocks and even tree bark나무껍질. It’s all ground into a fine dust for processing. And this is the final product. These pellets뭉친 공 can be used as a replacement for coal.
Sheng Chung bio energy also builds stoves that are fueled by these biomass폐기물 pellets. The company says they’re up to five times more energy efficient than typical coal boilers and slightly cheaper. Our stoves mean a lot to rural villagers because they heat more effectively, said the company chairman, they’re very accessible손에 넣기 쉬운 and we’re planning to expand with the government.
It’s just one small scale example of how China can make a large scale transition to a low carbon economy. The world’s largest emitter방출자 of green house gases currently relies on dirty coal for 70% of its energy. But some experts believe China’s rapid and recent industrialization means it has the potential to implement green technology quickly and bypass뛰어넘다 the high polluting growth model of western countries. “Because china is building so much new capacity. China can leapfrog등 집고 넘기 and come up with solutions. That will be the platform for the next phase of the economic growth.”
Bjorn Stigson, the head of the world business council for sustainable development환경 친화적 개발, is part of a team of experts recently invited by the Chinese government to help convert the energy intensive economy. He met with Chinese premier Wen ja Bao who will represent the nation in Copenhagen and recently published report outlining a plan to help China go green, recommending that china pursue low carbon industrialization, develop renewable energy and carbon capture, and encourage sustainable consumption by educating people about how to live green. In some communities, that’s already happening.
