Twenty-one illustrations of the use of energy from biomass by the sugar, pulp and paper, manufacturing, and wood products industries and for space heating of residences and institutional buildings are presented. Uses include the combustion of wood wastes and sugarcane residues for production of industrial electric power needs, steam production for bleaching and dyeing operations, heat for industrial drying, and space heating. The six appendices give information on the overall availability of biomass and biomass residues in the US and Canada. (JGB)
