SYSTEMS FOR THE ENERGETIC USE OF BIOMASS : A GENERAL VIEW

Abstract

Abstract Climate change, environmental degradation, agriculture decline burdened with heavy socio-economic implications and increasing energy needs for sustainable development and economic growth, have stimulated a frenetic search for acceptable solutions to improve this critical situation. Biomass production and utilisation for energy has given rise to many discussions for its environmental impact. This paper presents a point of view that bio-energy could assume sustainable environmental features for our future.
