Biomass

Interest in Biomass has increased dramatically over the last 5 years as people seek out a renewable resource substitute for petroleum based fuels as well as an input into other industrial processes.The majority of biomass is found in rural areas, and as such the bio-economy has the potential to provide much needed diversification of the rural economy. The headlines often tout biomass as an alternative to oil, and while this has potential, it can also be used as input into consumer products such as linens and construction materials.
