Biomass Heating Offers Practical Carbon Reductions Today

Key Points on Carbon: The globe requires carbon reduction efforts to start immediately We have finite agricultural and forest resources as biomass feed-stocks Utilizing biomass for corn ethanol does not significantly reduce net carbon emissions (given emissions from transport and processing.) Utilizing biomass for heating provides a net 75% reduction Source: J. Pendray, MIT, 2007, “Prospects for Increased Low-Grade Bio-Fuels Use in Home and Commercial Heating Applications.”
