Abstract

In order to alleviate the energy shortage problem in northeast China, we apply “Energy landscape” theories and methods to guide and control the development of biomass energy from the perspective of spatial planning, and try to make full use of the rich resource of agricultural biomass in Heilongjiang province. By analyzing biomass energy production potential, we have established development orientation of biomass energy in Heilongjiang, which is to develop agriculture and limit deforestation. Further, we make analyze energy supply and energy demand as the key affecting factors, and improve strategy of space planning with biomass energy’s space network model on the basis of cross research between energy planning and spatial planning. In the revising process, we try to reveal laws of quantitative relation between settlements’ positions and transportation cost with GIS analysis tools. On the basis of theory, we select Fujin county as the research target to explore the optimal layout forms of biomass power plant development network, and this is the core research content for founding biomass energy’s space network model. Because different towns’ layout density and positions’ relation can impact space network model’s forms, we revise the model’s structure and shapes to make it to be more economical. By drawing up development strategy and founding biomass energy’s spatial network model, we can optimize the biomass energy consumption structure and reduce non-renewable energy consumption indirectly, and this kind of crucial energy-saving strategy should be promoted in the coming decades to slow down the process of problem of energy crisis getting worse.
