Abstract: Biomass is the sole renewable carbon resource that can be transferred into gas,liquid and solid fuels as well as other chemicals. As the fossil enegy will be exhaustive, humans pay more attention to the problems of global environment. Many scholars and researchers in the world have been focusing on the research and development of biomass energy to substitute for fossil energy. The clean and high quality gas,liquid or solid fuels converted from renewable biomass resource by different ways were described in the course series. The varity and status on R & D of biomass shaped fuel were reviewed in this paper. The technology and equipment of biomass shaped fuel production were mainly discussed. The present problem and development trend of biomass shaped fuel production were also pointed out.

Key words: biomass energy, shaped fuel
