Attention is given to energy from biomass and wastes, the energy potential of sugar cane and sweet sorghum, the yields of short rotation Eucalyptus Grandis in high density plantings, maximizing forest biomass energy production by municipal wastewater irrigation, and large-scale biomass cogenerated power. Advanced systems concerning residential wood fired furnaces are considered along with environmental impacts of increased fuelwood use, metabolic control for microbial fuel production during thermophilic fermentation of biomass, anaerobic sludge digestion in the presence of lactobacillus additive, the enzymatic enhancement of solid waste bioconversion, and the gasification of organic solid wastes in cocurrent moving bed reactors. Other subjects discussed are related to the Simplex coal and biomass gasification process, molecular mechanisms underlying solar conversion and energy storage by the photocatalytic decomposition of water in photosynthesis, and the production of hydrogen from biomass and wastes. There is also a description of topics which are concerned with the economics of modest size pyrolysis systems providing substitute fuel for existing combustion systems, the gasification of solid waste linked with purification, refuse conversion to methane, the biothermal gasification of biomass, and some practical aspects affecting the operation of a commercial gas producer on biomass.
