Document Summary
Biomass contributes as the world"s fourth largest energy source today up to 14% of the world"s primary energy demand. In developing countries it can be as high as 35% of the primary energy supply. Biomass is a versatile source of energy in that it can be readily stored and transformed into electricity and heat. It has also the potential that it is used as a raw material for production of fuel and chemical feedstock. Production units range from small scale up to multi-megawatt sizes. Development of biomass use contributes to both energy and other non-energy policies. None energy related arguments are: environmental and climate change. It also offers the possibilities of a closed mineral and nitrogen cycle. This would lead to stabilisation of employment in rural areas and regional development: security of supply. 98% of the transport market is dependent on oil.
