Notas: Today the dominant biomass conversion technology consists of the combustion of biomass as fuelwood, as field and forest residues, or as process residues, such as bagasse and black liquor. Many of the combustion processes in use today have poor environmental characteristics and low efficiency. This is especially true of cookstoves in developing countries; trhey are a major cause of respiratory disease and also contibute to greenhouse gas production.
