Biomass is an important source of energy in developing countries. In some developing countries, energy from biomass such as wood and agricultural residues represents about 70% of total energy consumption per year. Main applications are in the domestic sector and small-scale industries, but also increasingly in modern systems for combined heat and power generation. Managed properly, biomass energy can be sustainable, environmentally and economically sound. Moreover, biomass energy creates…
