Interest in utilization of biomass for energy and industrial products is worldwide. This interest is being driven by a variety of concerns that include the rate of increase in fossil fuel consumption with associated greenhouse gas emissions, in-country energy security, and enhancement of rural economics. Interwoven in the discussions of enhancing biomass utilization is sustainability. The concept and understanding of sustainability are explored and discussed. The barriers and/or challenges that must be addressed and the viable solutions developed for a substantial increase in biomass utilization are presented.
