Abstract: Development of fuel ethanol production from non-grain crops has many advantages to deal with environment protection, energy supply and food crisis in China. The state of the art of fuel ethanol production from non-grain crops (sweet sorghum, cassava and cellulose) in China, has been reviewed, from different view points, i.e. relative supporting policies, market chains and advanced production technologies. The prospects for future development and direction were designed, and suggestions on sustainable development of fuel ethanol industry by non-grain crops were proposed.

Key words: fuel ethanol, sweet sorghum, cassava, cellulose
