Abstract

Biomass is a major source of energy supply and it is used at different levels of technology. It can be used “directly”, as in household fires or wood burning cookers, or “indirectly” after conversion into a secondary form of energy, such as biopower, biodiesel or biogas. This report is concerned with the technologies, markets and development of biomass energy, both used directly and converted from primary energy to a secondary fuel.This report is greatly expanded in coverage with much deeper and more comprehensive statistical analysis than in the 1st edition. The report is rich with data, with detailed new country analysis of biomass use contained in 150 charts and tables. The report analyses and identifies biomass supply and use by type and process. The biomass technologies are outlined, for direct consumption and transformation into secondary energy - electricity, gas, fuel. These technologies include gasification, pyrolysis, biofuel prodcution, MSW treatment, landfill gas, power generation.Each of the 29 major biomass using countries is analysed by energy and biomass usage, measuring consumption, the size of different biomass sources identifying how it is used, in he following analyses;- Fossil fuel & nuclear/renewable non-biomass/biomass Biomass supply by type - solid biomass/MWS/biofuel/biogad/industrial waste.Biomass use analysed by direct/transformation/heal/electricity/other fuel.Electricity generation from biomass historically from 1980.The report outlines the many government initiatives to support the biomass industry and R&D.
