Biomass utilisation: A perspective of task X IEA bioenergy agreement 1992–1994

The program to be carried out within the framework of the IEA Bioenergy Agreement consists of cooperative research, development, demonstrations and exchange of information regarding bioenergy. Within Task X Biomass Utilisation, thirteen participating countries have focused research efforts on thermal processing of biomass, biological conversion of feedstocks, processing of specialised biomass, and cross-cutting topics of interest across several technical areas. This paper addresses the various work programs and summarises the progress of Task X Biomass Utilisation during the period 1992 through 1994.
