Is the use of biomass for electricity generation more environmental friendly than the use of fossil fuels? Is biomass electricity able to compete in the market? What are the consequences for the national economy? This study attempts to answer these questions, both in an industrial and a developing country context. It provides useful tools and examples for policy makers, researchers and investors in the field of renewable energy projects.
