The Chinese central government was reported to continue intensifying the demand for "energy-saving and emission-reduction" in the Twelfth Five-Year (2011-2015) Plan. This act is expected to help lead more investments into the bio-energy industry and bio-material industry in 2011-2015, because the development of these industries is beneficial to "energy-saving and emission-reduction" in turn.

In the aspect of bio-energy, we report in this issue, that a new production facility of cassava-based fuel ethanol located in Guangdong Province, owned by Guangdong Zhongneng Alcohol Co., Ltd., is waiting for the approval from National Development and Reform Commission. Also, a state-funded scientific research project ("973" Project) on microalgae-based biodiesel, was officially launched on February 2011, reflecting China's determination to classify the development of microalgae-based biodiesel industry as part of its Twelfth Five-year Plan for national energy development.

In the bio-material field, a questionnaire survey was conducted to reveal which is the largest application field for PLA resin at home and abroad. We also reveal the domestic demand situations for PPC resin and PHA resin at present.

"Energy-saving and emission-reduction" demands create great commercial opportunity for domestic bio-energy industry in 2011-2015 .

Sewage treatment is mandated for domestic cassava-based ethanol production. Currently, the sewage treatment method in China is mostly based on two successive biological treatment processes: "anaerobic process ? aerobic process".

A state-funded scientific research project ("973" Project) on the mass production of microalgae-based biodiesel was officially launched On February 19, 2011.

Guangdong Zhongneng's cassava basic fuel ethanol project is facing the predicament of cassava supply at present.

Domestic aquaculture probiotic industry urgently needs establishment of national standards now.

The high raw material costs have been eroding the operating profit for Angel Yeast Co., Ltd. (Angel Yeast) since 2010.

The average price of domestic bio-acrylamide may see an upward trend by April 2011 based on the price uptrend of its raw material and its strong demand.

The domestic market for stevia sweetener has tremendous growing space in the future and is awaiting further exploiting.

At present, China's itaconic acid industry is starting to be dominated by three large producers, whose total capacity reaches 33,000t/a, taking up about 84% of the domestic total by now.

PPC resin prices in March to April might probably remain at the same level as in late February, 2011 owing to the domestic tepid demand for PPC resin.

Currently PLA resin is mainly used in such relatively low-end fields as "disposable package & dishware" at home and broad.

China's first three largest producers of PHA resin expressed their intentions to expand their current PHA resin production capacities, reflecting that they are still optimistic about PHA resin market.
