This report analyzes the worldwide markets for Biomass, Biomass and Waste-to-Energy in terms of installed capacity (MW) and electricity generation (Million kWh). The report analyzes the US and European markets in terms of installed capacity and electricity generation by the following plant types - Dedicated Plants, and Co-Fired Plants/ Co-Generation/Combined Heat and Power Plants. Installed capacity for US market is also analyzed by following parameters: I. Biomass Source (Wood and Wood-Derived Fuels, and Waste); II. By Plant Type (Dedicated, and Co-Fired); and III. End-Use Segment (Electric Power Sector, Commercial Sector, and Industrial Sector). Electricity Generation in the US market is analyzed by: I. Biomass Source (Waste (Landfill Gas, MSW Biogeneric, and Other Biomass), and Wood & Derived Fuel); II. Plant Type (Dedicated, Co-Fired); III. End-Use Segment (Electric Power Sector, Commercial Sector, and Industrial Sector). Installed Capacity for the European market is analyzed by Plant Type (Dedicated, and Combined Heat and P ower (CHP)). Electricity Generation for the European market is analyzed by: I. Plant Type (Dedicated, and Combined Heat and Power (CHP)); and Biomass Source (Biogas, Solid Biomass, and Renewable Municipal Solid Waste (MSW)). The report provides separate comprehensive analytics for US, Canada, Japan, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Rest of World. Annual forecasts are provided for each region for the period of 2006 through 2015. A seventeen-year historic analysis is also provided for this market.
