Apply Emerging Biomass Technologies to Recurring Needs
• Heat – Buildings – Processing
• Food Security – Greenhouse Heat – Soil fertility - Biochar for carbon smart
farming
• Power – <100 kWe - village and small community – >100 kWe – community and institutional
• Waste Disposal – Nonrecylable wood and paper – Wastewater sludge

The Way Ahead • Use demonstrated technologies to convert high ash
fuels to heat for energy and food production
• Build wood infrastructure through heating systems
• Use heating technologies that make electricity and biochar as co-products
• Use co-products (biochar) to grow food (e.g. greenhouse)
• Employ heat/power technologies that use wood and waste. e.g. gasification PHG
• Watch for Improved technologies - wait for commercial installations – Integrated Waste
– Liquid fuel
– Large power generation T R Miles Technical Consultants 25
