H. Liu,     University of Nottingham, UK

Abstract:

Section 5.1 outlines the significance of biomass as a fuel in the world energy supply scene and defines biomass and bioenergy categories. This section also notes the scope and extent of biomass as a renewable energy resource, how it fits in the CO2 cycle and the different types of biomass available.
