Biomass and Biofuels

Production and utilization of biomass for energy -- everything from burning wood to high-tech processes for converting crops to liquid fuels. Biomass is any organic matter which is available on a renewable basis, including agricultural crops and residues, wood and wood wastes, municipal wastes, and aquatic plants.
