Biomass Energy data Book - 2009 - US Department of Energy

This ringbound book provides a reproduction of the Biomass Energy Data Book, prepared for the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy of the U.S. Department of Energy by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. It features hundreds of detailed tables, charts, and graphs.

Contents include: Acronyms, Introduction to Biomass, Biofuels, Ethanol, Biodiesel, BioOil, Biopower, Biorefineries, Feedstocks, Secondary Biomass Feedstocks, Oilseeds, Mill Wastes, Pellet Fuels, Tertiary Biomass Feedstocks, Urban Residues, Landfill Gas, Conversions, Biomass Characteristics.

The purpose of this data book is to draw together, under one cover, biomass data from diverse sources to produce a comprehensive document that supports anyone with an interest or stake in the biomass industry. Given the increasing demand for energy, policymakers and analysts need to be well-informed about current biomass energy production activity and the potential contribution biomass resources and technologies can make toward meeting the nation's energy demands. This is the first edition of the Biomass Energy Data Book.
