	What is Biopower?
		In addition to his formulation of the theory of biopower, Focault became an interesting critic of literature and of his time, though his texts are very difficult reading for the beginning student of post-structuralism.
		This is biopower in its most ugly and extreme form, and it is justifiable according to the concepts of Foucault.
		In Foucault’s view, biopower is the natural trend away from sovereign states that governed by threatening death to opposers or those who would not obey the law.

	Biopower - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Biopower was a term originally coined by French philosopher Michel Foucault to refer to the practice of modern states to regulate their subjects through "an explosion of numerous and diverse techniques for achieving the subjugations of bodies and the control of populations", in particular through the use of statistics and probabilities.
		Biopower for Foucault contrasts with traditional modes of power based on the threat of death from a sovereign.
		In an era where power must be justified rationally, biopower is utilized by an emphasis on the protection of life rather than the threat of death, on the regulation of the body, and the production of other technologies of power, such as the notion of sexuality.

	*Harvesting Clean Energy* Biopower
		Currently, most biopower is generated through combustion, with smaller projects utilizing primarily digestion and gasification.
		Research and development efforts are rapidly bringing improved methods and new technologies into the marketplace, maximizing the potential and efficiency of biopower.
		The Harvesting Clean Energy program is most interested in biopower projects which displace existing uses of petroleum and coal, generate public benefits, create rural jobs, and/or demonstrate emerging technologies.

	AutoWeb - Big plans for Saab BioPower in Australia
		Saab BioPower is a ‘flex-fuel’ vehicle, which means it can effectively run on 100 per cent ethanol or 100 per cent petrol or any combination in between, thanks to the Saab advanced trionic engine management system.
		BioPower demonstrates the importance of community and government support to establish a viable alternative fuel industry.
		The success of BioPower was the result of close collaboration between Saab, the Swedish government, fuel suppliers and the community to create demand for ethanol, to engineer the vehicles, encourage their take up and switch on the new fuel supply simultaneously.

		Societies that derive from biopower are also called societies of control.
		Biopower is the modern form of regulation of individuals and groups, and sexuality is the effect of that power.
		In the new societies of control, which are the most complete realization of the relationships of capitalism, biopower permeates entirely the consciousness and bodies of individuals.

	Clean Energy - Information on Biopower
		Biopower is the process of using biomass (plant and organic matter) to generate electricity.
		The important benefit with biopower is that it relies on a renewable resource with significantly less harmful emissions.
		Although direct-fired biopower systems produce air pollution emissions, they are cleaner than coal-fired power plants because they do not release sulfur dioxide, a key pollutant contributing to acid rain.

	REPP-CREST : BIOENERGY
		Biopower provides the most non-hydroelectric renewable energy in the U.S., contributing over 1.5% of total electricity supply.
		There are essentially two kinds of biopower÷biopower for self-generation in pulp-and-paper facilities, and biopower facilities that produce power and heat not only for the on-site facility, but also for the grid.
		Much of this biopower capacity in the U.S. came on-line in the 1980s in response to the Public Utilities Regulatory Policy Act of 1978 (PURPA), which guaranteed a market and favorable prices to certain non-utility power producers.

	What Is Biopower?
		Biopolitical power is expressed as a control that extends through the depths of consciousness and bodies of the population and across the entirety of social relations.
		Biopower controls and produces the corporeal body as much as it does the social body.
		The very resistance which the social body has to its control is also a function of biopower for it can only be produced in the midst of this multitude of people who are all acting as one.

	British Motor Show: Saab 9-3 and 9-5 Biopower by end of year - 4Car News from Channel 4
		Saab is hoping for its Biopower models to qualify for reduced-rate company car tax and reductions - if not complete exemption - in the London congestion charge in the next round of policy reforms, "but it's a slow process", admits Nash.
		There are no plans immediately to fit the 2.3 Biopower unit in the 9-3 as yet, but this could follow at a later date, along with further Biopower options.
		This new 2.0 Biopower engine, albeit in E85-compatible form, is based around the same E100 (pure ethanol-compatible) unit as that in the Biopower Hybrid concept car, as seen at the Stockholm Motor Show earlier this year and also on Saab's stand in London.

	Biopower
		Biopower technologies convert renewable biomass fuels into heat and electricity through a variety of processes.
		Biopower has tremendous potential for development in part because biomass stores its energy until needed, thereby providing “energy on demand.” Sources of biomass include: wood waste, municipal wastewater, landfill gas, animal manure and forest residues.
		This document describes a general framework for developing a biopower project with Energy Trust assistance, including a brief description of the topics typically included in a funding agreement.

	Saabnet.com Press: BioPower Flex-Fuel 9-5
		The Saab 9-5 BioPower flexible-fuel vehicle (FFV) will provide customers with a premium-class car for the first time in a rapidly growing market niche that is supported by favorable environmental and business tax concessions.
		On the road, the 180-hp Saab 9-5 BioPower running on E85 delivers sportier performance due to a significant 30-hp boost in maximum power and 30 lb.-ft. more torque, for a maximum of 206 lb.-ft., compared to its gasoline-powered equivalent.
		During the development of the BioPower engine, Saab engineers worked with General Motors colleagues in Brazil where 100 percent ethanol (E100), produced locally from sugar cane, is the dominant fuel on the market.

		The scale is small enough to be used on a farm or in remote villages, or large enough to provide power for a small city.
		There are four primary classes of BioPower systems: direct-fired, cofired, gasification, and modular systems.
		Most of today's BioPower plants are direct-fired systems that are similar to most fossil-fuel fired power plants.

	Saab BioPower Receives Avis Backing
		The Avis cars are part of growing 2,500-strong BioPower order intake from Saab dealers in Sweden as customers queue up to enjoy the benefits of the new model.
		This is because the emissions released during driving are balanced by the amount of CO2 removed from the atmosphere when crops are grown for conversion to bioethanol.
		Avis says that it was especially attracted by the user practicality of the 9-5 BioPower model, because it can also run on petrol, or any mixture of bioethanol and petrol up to a blend of 85 per cent, without adjustment.

	From biopower to biopolitics
		Foucault described this dynamic, in keeping with the progress of his research, as the emergence of a multiple and heterogeneous power of resistance and creation that calls every organization that is transcendental, and every regulatory mechanism that is extraneous, to its constitution radically into question.
		The birth of biopower and the redefinition of the problem of sovereignty are only comprehensible to us on this basis.
		Biopower coordinates and targets a power that does not properly belong to it, that comes from the 'outside.' Biopower is always born of something other than itself.

		Saab introduced a 2.0t BioPower model of the 9-5 last year in Sweden, followed this year by the Saab 9-5 2.3t BioPower performance sedan and wagon for Scandinavia, the U.K. and Ireland, with other European countries to follow.
		Saab's BioPower flex-fuel vehicles are proving a huge hit in Sweden, where the 2L 9-5 quickly established itself as Sweden's best-selling environmentally friendly vehicle.
		The 9-5 BioPower is especially popular in Sweden where the government gives a tax exemption for renewable fuels such as ethanol, biogas and biodiesel.
