Power Station And Oil Lamps
Biomass is a collective name for organic material that can be used as fuel: waste from food and plants, trees, rapeseed, organic wastes. Throughout the world biomass has been used from time immemorial for cooking, lighting and heating. It is still used today, both in the developing countries and here on domestic hearths, wood stoves and oil lamps. unprocessed biomass is not suitable for large-scale use in power stations or as transport fuel, but processing techniques are available and more are under development. Some process supply a biomass product that can also be used locally as fuel, being cleaner than coal or charcoal, while using material that would otherwise go to waste. Torrefaction is a technology that makes large grains of biomass by roasting and pelletising . The pellets can be used in power stations as well as stoves or small ovens, as in developing countries. Its clean, has a high energy yield, it's easy to transport and can be stored for a long time. If small scale roasting plants are built, but make the grains. That's a pretty good contribution to a sustainable energy supply.

@ Burton : Thanks for introducing torrefaction. It seems like a good alternative to pulverised coal cumbustion .The fact that it's slow roasting of biomass improves the energy content could help in large scale implementation of bioenergy.Thanks for the informative report.

Thanks for the report Burton.
Wood remains the largest biomass energy source to date.
