The fate of biomass

Biomass has been traded like a commodity as solid biofuels within Europe, including wood chips, wood pellets, briquettes, logs, sawdust and straw bales etc. The standard and markets have been established.



However, biomass has been utilized and will be utilized more as feedstocks for the production of liquid fuels through thermochemical and biological conversion in the world.


Will be a competition for both fuels? Whatever, biomass will suddenly become a hot commodity like corn when biofuels become a hot industry.
