Abstract: Main rural biomass development models including household biomass recycle-utilization model, distributed generation model and commercial bio-fuel product model in China were surveyed and presented. Their characteristics and key barriers were also analyzed. Some suggestions for how to develope biomass energy and how to promote its industrialization were made in the paper. 1) Based on the understanding of no competition with food production and development of recycle agriculture, the technology of biomass energy utilizing agriculture waste should be in the front rank. 2) As development strategy from easy to difficult, the start up of developing energy crops should base on present modern agriculture activities, meanwhile utilizing some traditional crops with high production rate as sources. 3) The adoption of development modes should be depending on local climate, cultivated way, economical development level; and focusing on the supplementation between multiple renewable energy resources. 4) The technologies of biomass energy were formed by different technology sources with their innovation and collaboration, therefore the high & new technologies should be applied and the technology import should be emphasized.

Key words: biomass energy, household type, distributed generation, biofuel product
