- Biomass-Key text - One of the most appealing things about biomass energy is that it doesn't ... There are five different ways of extracting biomass energy:
URL: www.science.org.au/nova/039/039key.htm - Converting Biomass Energy into useable energy has many environmental benefits. It uses waste materials that are usually dumped.
URL: www.sustainableenergy.qld.edu.au/sources/biomass.html - The car manufacturer Daimler, sponsored research in the arid parts of India in 2004. Their findings and that of their partners are listed here in what became known as Oil from a Wasteland - The Jatropha Project in India. With permission we host their six part story of this nut that grows in arid regions, is poisonous to humans and and even wild goats but plentiful in oil and is revitalising areas that have been semi desert for years. These pages are in pdf format.
