Assessment of bioenergy development potential and its environmental impact for rural household energy consumption: A case study in Shandong, China
Abstract
The status and changes of the rural household energy consumption (RHEC) and its pollutants emission in Shandong province, China, from 1995 to 2010 were assessed, as well as the reductions of the air pollutants by developing modern bioenergy (MBE).
