As ofBy the end of 2022, in the three major biomass power generation types of agricultural and forestry biomass, waste incineration power generation, and biogas power generation, the cumulative installed capacity of agricultural and forestry biomass power generation reached 16.23 million kilowatts, with a cumulative electricity generation of 51.6 billion kilowatt-hours, remaining stable compared to 2021, while the total online electricity generation decreased compared to 2021. The total installed capacity of waste incineration power generation reached 23.86 million kilowatts, accounting for 58% of the total biomass installed capacity. The cumulative electricity generation reached 126.8 billion kilowatt-hours in 2022, a 16.9% increase from 2021, with a cumulative online electricity generation of 105.6 billion kilowatt-hours, up by 17% from 2021. The cumulative installed capacity of biogas power generation reached 1.22 million kilowatts, with a cumulative electricity generation of 3.95 billion kilowatt-hours in 2022, a 5.4% increase from 2021. The cumulative online electricity generation reached 3.32 billion kilowatt-hours, a 2.5% increase from 2021.

       Zhong Neng Jie Energy Consulting Co., Ltd.'s former Deputy General Manager and Senior Engineer Yuan Baorong believes that the rapid development of waste incineration power generation is attributed to appropriate policy arrangements.In 2021, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, and the National Energy Administration jointly issued the "Work Plan for the Construction of Biomass Power Generation Projects in 2021," proposing to improve the garbage disposal fee system and gradually promote the formation of a market-oriented operation model for garbage incineration power generation. The plan allocates 200 million yuan in subsidies for competitive allocation projects for garbage incineration power generation. On November 14, 2022, the National Development and Reform Commission and other departments issued guidelines to strengthen the construction of garbage incineration treatment facilities in county-level areas, suggesting that new garbage incineration power generation projects be prioritized for green electricity trading. In 2022, the installed capacity of garbage incineration power generation increased by 11.4% compared to the previous year, and the utilization hours reached 5,452. Additionally, with the reduction in landfill disposal, the continuous promotion of waste classification work is expected to lead to an increasing number of biogas generation projects from kitchen waste.
