Abstract: An assessment of biomass resources in Shanghai in 2005 has been conducted for the purpose of evaluating the potential quantities that can be used for energy. This analysis contains the estimation of biomass quantities potentially available in four categories: agricultural residues, forest and wood mill residues, municipal solid wastes and excrement resources. The estimated total physical quantities of biomass resources available for energy in Shanghai in 2005 are 8.18795 million tons, with the annual energy potential of 1.7149 million tons of coal equivalent (TCE). The majority of biomass energy in Shanghai is produced from municipal solid wastes, followed by excrement resources and agricultural residues. The energy production from municipal solid wastes and excrement resources can be put on the agenda in Shanghai.
