Abstract: The characteristics and distribution of the current Nonfood Biodiesel Plant (NFBP) resources in Shanghai, Jiangsu and Anhui provinces were investigated and the oil content of these plants were detected. The results showed that 151 species of energy plants in 59 families and 123 genera were of higher than 10% oil content. The oil content of some species such as Lindera chienii, L. angustifolia and L. rubronervia in Lauraceae, Euonymus maackii in Celastraceae, Vernicia fordii and Ricinus communis in Euphorbiaceae, Camellia sinensis in Theaceae were higher than 50%. Only Triadica sebifera were widely cultivated and utilized, Camellia oleifera and Vernicia fordi were less utilized, C. sinensis had not been utilized. Finally, some suggestions on the potential development were given according to the actual situation of NFBP resources in Shanghai, Jiangsu and Anhui provinces.
