Abstract: Excerpts from the Executive Summary: This trip, May 1982 to June 1982, was sponsored by the Office of International Cooperation and Development (OICD) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, DC 20250. Expenses to and from China were paid by OICD while all expenses within China were paid by the Chinese Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Fishery. The purpose of the trip was to study the current status of research and application of biomass energy, with an emphasis on biogas digesters as developed and used in China; to study the benefits of using biogas digesters, and to determine what organizations in China are doing research and development on biogas digesters. Both technology and economics were examined. Contacts for possible future cooperative research were made. The travel in China consisted of about one week in and around Beijing; two weeks in Sichuan Province (Chengdu and Chongqing); one week traveling to and around Wuhan; and one week at Guangzhou.
