摘要: As the world's largest agricultural production country, China has abundant straw resource for bioenergy utili-zation. Plenty of studies have explored that straw pellet is relatively clean, with lower greenhouse gas as well as air pollutant emissions than coal, whereas how to make it more affordable for low-income rural families is eager for a plausible and practical solution. Therefore, barter mode is proposed as an institutional innovation, and it is working successfully in Meihekou city, Northeast China. Under this mode, rural families can supply 3-ton straw feedstock in return for 1-ton straw pellet. The results from the life cycle assessment illustrate that greenhouse gas emissions from barter mode are remarkably lower than straw pellet in commercial mode and coal heating mode. The economic evaluation indicates that the benefits for the consumer and the producer could be promoted dramatically. In addition, the experiences that how barter mode can work in Meihekou city are summarized systematically. Barter mode gives a unique angle on how to achieve SDG7 (affordable and clean energy) in China, and the experiences and lessons learned are particularly useful for policymakers to alleviate rural energy poverty in developing countries.
