Summary
Summary
The production of bioenergy could potentially increase national energy security, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to rural economic growth. Legislative, research and industrial attention have focused on the production of bioenergy in the form of liquid transportation fuels. This book provides analyses of commonly discussed biomass feedstocks and their relative potential for power generation; feedstock accessibility; the biomass power plant carbon-neutrality debate and unintended consequences of legislative activities to promote bioenergy.
