		The European Biomass Association is a non profit Brussels based international organisation whose mission is to represent bioenergy at EU level.
		Biomass refers to renewable energy coming from biological material such as trees, plants, manure, and sometimes waste.
		Using various transformation processes such as combustion, gasification, pyrolysis the biomass is either transformed into biofuels, bioheat or bioelectricity and used for energetic purposes.

	WWF - Biomass
		Biomass is the name given to any recent organic matter that has been derived from plants as a result of the photosynthetic conversion process.
		Biomass energy is derived from plant and animal material, such as wood from forests, residues from agricultural and forestry processes, and industrial, human or animal wastes.
		Biomass use for energy can make a major contribution to climate protection and resource conservation, regardless of whether wastes or specially cultivated crops are used.

	Biomass fuel the answer to climate change and dwindling oil: study
		The report said biomass -- defined as all organic matter of vegetable and animal origin -- should be seen as the energy of the future as it comes from renewable and dependable sources.
		It was issued a day after the European Commission called on EU countries to dramatically increase their production of energy from renewable sources if they are to meet self-imposed targets.
		The European Union hopes to derive 12 percent of its total energy consumption -- and 22 percent of its electricity usage -- from renewable sources by 2010.

	Performance of Generating Plant
		In the U.S.A., biomass represents over 3% of U.S. energy consumption; in Finland, Sweden and Austria, 13 to 18% of electricity generated is fueled by biomass.
		Also, if a replacement crop is planted, equivalent to the amount of biomass used for electricity generation, the new crop absorbs the CO2 produced by the combustion process, resulting in no net emissions.
		Land suitable for biomass development may face competition for other uses and/or there may be opposition to harvesting existing resources such as forests.

	WWF-UK: Alternative fuel will reduce CO₂ emissions
		A report by WWF and the European Biomass Industry Association (AEBIOM) shows that using biomass - fuel derived from agriculture and forest waste - instead of coal to generate electricity, could reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about one billion tonnes.
		According to the report, the UK currently generates 0.9 per cent of its total generating capacity from biomass, an equivalent of 648 megawatts of electricity, enough to provide for approximately 750,000 UK homes.
		"Decision-makers have overlooked the huge potential of biomass to deliver sustainable energy for the future, and it is a viable option for Tony Blair's government to meet its commitment to source 10 per cent of the UK's total electricity from renewables by 2010," says Dr Catarina Cardoso, head of WWF-UK's Climate Change Programme.

	International Sustainable Energy Organization
		In spite of the large world-wide biomass resource potential and the optimistic long-term, contribution (World: 7'800 MTOE/y- E.U. 400 MTOE/y), it can be stated that commercial bio-energy production is not yet initiated, with the exception of the heat production, mainly concentrated in Scandinavia and Austria (biofuel contribution ~18% of total primary energy).
		As far as the improvement of crop productivity is concerned, we are still at an early stage compared with agricultural crops.
		In particular the use of biomass as a substitute for fossil-fuels to mitigate the CO2 effect will be effective and more beneficial from the socio-economic (rural development) perspectives than sequestering the carbon in forests.
