Abstract
The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region has abundant biomass resources, which are difficult to collect and thus are underutilized. However, the potential estimation of biomass energy can result in a comprehensive understanding of bioenergy resources in order to establish a technology roadmap for the region’s bioenergy development. Therefore, it is essential to estimate the potential of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei biomass resources and bioenergy utilization. In this paper, the amount of main biomass resources for possible energy use and bioenergy utilization are calculated based on a statistical data estimation method for crop residues; human, poultry, and livestock manure; and municipal solid wastes. On the basis of biomass resources and bioenergy utilization potential, the technology roadmap is established. The results show that the amount for available biomass energy use is unevenly distributed in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, and the largest amount of resources is crop residues (36.52 million tons or 18.26 million tons coal equivalent). The biogas from human, poultry, and livestock manure and densified solids from crop residue technology roadmap is suitable for the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.

National economic growth is related to energy consumption, and there are many studies on the relationship between economic growth and energy consumption [1,2,3,4,5]
According to the Statistical Review of World Energy in 2019, we found that world primary energy consumption increased to 13.9 billion tons of oil equivalent in 2018, along with an average annual growth rate of 2.9% per year, and the consumption of oil, nature gas, and coal have increased at Energies 2020, 13, 844; doi:10.3390/en13040844
We successfully estimated three types biomass resources potential and bioenergy utilization potential based on a simple statistical data method and established the biomass energy technology roadmap of the B-T-H region
Summary
National economic growth is related to energy consumption, and there are many studies on the relationship between economic growth and energy consumption [1,2,3,4,5]. The Paris Agreement Conference of Parties (COP) announced that the fossil fuel age with the best available science, so as to achieve a balance between anthropogenic emissions by sources has ended, and many countries have agreed that “to undertake rapid reductions thereafter, in andaccordance removals by sinks of greenhouse gases in the second half of this century, on the basis of equity with the best available science, so as to achieve a balance between anthropogenic andemissions in the context of sustainable development and efforts to eradicate poverty”. Smeets et al adopted a bottom-up per year, of which 73.9 Tg of dry waste crops can produce 49.1 GL bioethanol and about 1.5 Pg dry solution to assess agricultural and forestry residues and potential wastes for a total 76–96 EJ yr−1 in lignocellulosic biomass.
