Current state and future perspectives of biomass in the European Union: focusing on combined heat and power application (CHP)

Biomass is one of the Renewable Energy Sources (RES) that has a worldwide potential to be exploited, but, it seems not to be in the European Union (EU) countries, where the biomass potential is not fully manipulated. Bioheating and bioelectricity are the two applications of biomass which have a prac...

description Biomass is one of the Renewable Energy Sources (RES) that has a worldwide potential to be exploited, but, it seems not to be in the European Union (EU) countries, where the biomass potential is not fully manipulated.
