Biomass Power

One of a series on the ‘Energy Debate’. The various forms of biomass energy, means for their production and utilization, their costs, and the consequences for the environment are discussed in detail.

The political difficulties of energy-wise policies are pointed out. Glossary, Books to read, Websites and Index are included.
