Abstract

An analysis of strength, weakness, opportunity, and threat (SWOT) was conducted to compare the management of crop straw using three different disposal methods including traditional household energy utilization, biomass briquette technology and biochar technology. The results indicated that the biomass briquette technology and the biochar technology showed significant advantages with higher energy utilization efficiency and less pollution compared with the technology of traditional household energy utilization. Moreover, the biochar technology had multiple benefits on carbon sequestration, soil amendment, pollution remediation and renewable energy production. However, more attention should be paid to the development and application of the biochar technology, as well as the policy support from governments. Considering all the factors, the biochar technology is the most promising method of crop straw disposal.
