Comparison and Reference for the Development Experience of Aviation Biofuel Industry in China and EU

Abstract

The research and development and use of China’s aviation biofuels is entering into industrialization. Compared with the EU countries, China’s aviation biofuel industry is still in its infancy and its features are high cost, low production and small scale of commercial application. Through the literature review method, this paper studies the development experience of EU’s aviation biofuels from three aspects of legislative support, financial support, and technical support. By comparing the development situation of aviation biofuel industry between China and the European Union and considering the development situation of China’s economy, the paper illustrates the development situation of China’s aviation biofuels and puts forward some suggestions on the development of China’s aviation biofuels from three angles of government support, business support and scientific research support to promote low-carbon aviation development and economic sustainable development.
