In the twenty-first century, energy producers must meet environmental targets, leading to a shift away from fossil fuels and towards renewable sources of energy: as a result Biomass is becoming an increasingly attractive option to energy providers. Biomass is simple and cost effective with some estimates predicting that by 2050, it could provide 50% of the world’s primary energy needs. The next ten years will see the development of efficient systems to convert Biomass into electricity and spur the development of a fast growth new global bio-power industry.
The Future of Global Biomass Power Generation: The technology, economics and impact of Biomass power generation is a strategic management report detailing existing Biomass resources and the costs and efficacy of introducing new energy crop resources in the future. It appraises the various means of converting these resources to power in cost and energy efficiency terms whilst also considering the environmental impact.
