With oil prices exceeding the all time high of US$100 per barrel, the search for an alternative energy source has become imperative.

Its State Forestry Administration (SFA) has recently announced the allocation of 7,000 hectares of biodiesel forest that will take shape in Hebei, the northern province of China. Hebei, which borders Beijing, is among the seven regions designated to develop biofuel demonstration forests. This is part of China’s plans to cultivate 13 million hectare of high-grade bio energy forest by 2020. According to China’s National Development Reform Commission, China is expecting to produce 2 million tones of biodiesel by 2020.
