Biomass is a reliable low-carbon alternative fuel with the characteristics of abundant reserves and wide distribution in China. The reasonable and effective utilization of biomass is very important for the realization of low-carbon/zero-carbon emissions and the construction of the power system based on renewable energy in China, because biomass fuel also has the property of energy storage. To this end, the status and trends of biomass utilization policies and power generation technologies at abroad were systematically reviewed. An in-depth analysis of China′s future biomass utilization pathways was conducted, combined with biomass characteristics and power generation demand in China. It is concluded that the main direction of the current low-carbon development of thermal power in the world is high-efficiency coal firing power technology with biomass co-firing, which has the advantages of mature technology, low cost, and flexible utilization forms. It is a key measure for the UK,Sweden and other countries to achieve carbon neutrality, and has been developed rapidly under effective policy incentives.
