Stockbreeding industries are increasing rapidly in rural areas around big cities in C hina. This increase carries high risks to the environment due to emissions of large amounts of water pollutants and greenhouse gases. On the other hand, stockbreeding wastes are a typical biomass resource and can be used as an energy source by advanced technologies. In this study, we selected M iyun C ounty and focused on analysing the synthetic environmental policies as endogenous variables by computer simulation including the introduction of advanced technologies to improve the environment and provide more biomass energy. The model considered both the total ecological system and the socio‐economic situational changes. The purpose of our research is to establish effective utilization methods for biomass resources as well as co‐ordinate resource reutilization, environmental preservation and economic development, and finally realize sustainable development of the society.
