From Maarten van der Burgt, Akersloot, the Netherlands
Having worked for many years in the biomass field, I was delighted to read Le Page’s article. Using biomass to produce power or fuel, when it has much more important uses, should be a crime.
Politicians seem to believe that because biomass is mostly green it fits into a green future. Of course, it is our only source of renewable carbon. But the waste from sugar, paper and wood processing is more than sufficient to supply carbon-based feedstock for the chemical and plastics industry as well as for some very special fuels.
