Thank you for the oportunity to give my impression about this book. I'm an energy engineer in Portugal. My overview about the problem of biomass is linked with all the energy problems, and in other way connected with the forest fire safety. What I had reed in this book is that, if we as citizens, of the new world, were prepared to became more conscient consumers, we can use biomass to produce the same products that we obtain by petroleum. The challenge is education of consumers, because we can keep in biorefineries, the same products that we obtain in petro-refineries.
