==Suitable conditions==

The main problem with biomass as a fuel is its uneven distribution, being most available in forested regions where it is little needed. Considered as a global resource there is no shortage of biomass, since:<br>

* The world's annual rate of use of energy is only about 10% of the annual natural rate of photosynthetic energy storage (i.e. solar energy stored in plant matter); stored biomass on the earth's surface at present is approximately equivalent to the entire proven fossil fuel reserves (oil, coal and natural gas).

This issue of food versus fuel is an important one, but where the fuel crop is used for irrigation pumping to produce food crops, especially in a small-scale "on-farm" process, the same objections need not apply.
