[en] Some of the small-scale alternatives for generation of electricity through the combustion of biomass, either direct or after its conversion to gas that are considered impracal for industrial loads, become economically attractive when compared to high transmission costs and losses of electricity converted to a grid. Differences exist among situations and locations and between countries, which now universally appreciate that biomass energy holds the potential to meet the world's growing energy requirements. 3 refs, 2 figs, 7 tabs
