In order to mitigate the climate change, China submitted its ambitious goal of INDC to the UNFCCC in 2015. In INDC, China has promised to lower the carbon dioxide emission and increase the share of non-fossil fuels in primary energy consumption. Such an emissions trajectory for the China's INDC would require marked development of biomass power. However, there are few research has quantitatively calculated the biomass demand and supply under INDC target. To fill this gap, we developed an integrated model which coupled the MESEIC model and two types of biomass supply database. The study results indicate that, to achieve the INDC target, it is noteworthy that the share of biomass is predicted to increase from 0.18% in 2010 to 10.20% and 20.06% in 2030 and 2050 respectively. However, current field residue in China is not enough to meet the biomass need in the northeast, northwest and south region. In order to meet the biomass need and ensure the food security, the grass land in Inner Mongolia, the forest in Heilongjiang, the grassland in the northwest region and the forest in the south region should be developed to produce biomass material.
