China has announced its Agricultural Biofuel Industry Plan which maps out the country’s biofuels development strategies.  Among the strategies are: (1) cap the expansion of grain-based ethanol production, particularly for corn and potato, to minimize negative impacts on the food sector, (2) develop new crop bases for biofuel production: sugarcane, sweet sorghum and cassava for bioethanol, and rapeseed for biodiesel.  According to the plan, “the total production of biomass energy from non-grain crops will grow to 500 million tons of coal equivalent, worth some 3 trillion yuan [€290/US$385 billion], which will account for 24 percent of the nation's total energy consumption.”  Bioethanol production targets have also been raised to 6 million tons by 2010 and 15 million tons by 2020 (previously set at 12 million tons by 2020.
