Biomass: Energy from Plants and Animals

By Amanda De La Garza

Although it is perhaps the oldest known source of fuel, biomass is now on the cutting edge of humankind's search for more sustainable energy. This book outlines the history of biomass use, details modern efforts to use biomass as a cost-effective, clean replacement for fossil fuels, and explores the potential of biomass-based energy as a major fuel source for the future.
