This analysis assumes all biomass is derived from perennial bioenergy feedstock—not forests, annuals, or waste—and replaces coal and natural gas in electricity production.
The article plainly states:
A) that virtually all the biomass plants built/planned in the USA are dependent on cutting down trees; and
B) the largest users of biomass outside the US, do so with almost 100% usage of trees.
It is absolute HORSESHIT to imagine a biomass scenario that uses NO TREES for its fuel. Also lauding “progress” in Brasil in this front is laughable considering the clear-cutting of the Amazon jungle they are doing to fuel it.
