笔者日前在工作中发现一个奇怪的问题：一边是大量秸秆堆放在田埂、水渠边，另一边，生物质电厂却 面临"吃不饱"的问题，难以获得稳定的原料供应，这背后的原因何在？ 素有"中国小麦第一县"之称的河南省滑县，每年秸秆产量稳定在200万吨以上。每年"三夏""秋收"时 节，各级政府部门都将秸秆禁烧作为重中之重的工作来抓，实行网格化管理，不间断巡查值守。 其实，解铃还须系铃人，真正要把好事做好，还须共同整合资源。对生物质能源企业来说，必须把收储 问题解决好，拉长秸秆收储运的链条，生产之前多调研，和农民多沟通，看农民欢迎哪种收储方式，然 后从自身做起，多为农民着想。 当然，秸秆由于自身的物理特性，密度小、体积大、分布松散，存储受场地及季节性影响大，这些问题 都应该在预案里有明确的解决办法。今年秋收季节阴雨连绵，农民收秋受到很大影响，更给秸秆收储带 来不便。面对这一困境，滑县已经开始积极探索秸秆综合利用的新路径。今年以来，滑县就重点支持了 标准化秸秆收储中心建设、秸秆离田、农机具购置、秸秆饲料化项目。 田间堆积如山的秸秆与生物质电厂"吃不饱"之间的矛盾，折射出农业废弃物资源化利用之路仍充满挑 战。在滑县的探索中，我们看到了解决问 ...
