Biomass Energy - Data, Analysis and Trends (Proceedings)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Fuelwood, agricultural residues, animal waste, charcoal, and other derived fuels, referred to as biomass energy, currently account for about 14% of world energy consumption. Biomass is the main source of energy for many developing countries and most of it is non-commercial. Hence there is enormous difficulty in collecting reliable biomass energy data. Yet good data are essential for analysing tendencies and consumption patterns, for modelling future trends and for designing coherent strategies. Data on biomass energy use and production are also needed to evaluate whether its use enhances or damages the environment, and to measure its effect on global emissions of carbon dioxide. This IEA workshop, held in Paris on 23-24 March 1998, focused on the work done by the IEA and other organisations to understand better the transition from non-commercial to commercial energy forms. Special attention was dedicated to the statistical and modelling aspects of the subject. It brought together some 50 biomass energy experts from international and non-governmental organisations, governments, universities and private industry. The presentations in these proceedings provide an extensive, up-to-date overview of the current knowledge and analysis on biomass energy.
