Suggest you look at Drax
Whilst it seems to be sensible to burn sustainably forested wood and creating a circa 40 year carbon cycle, what it doesn't do is to reduce the amount of carbon released from the historic burning of fossil fuels.
>But biomass encompasses so much more
An interesting side effect is that supermarkets no longer have as much waste... There is no change in the amount of out-of-date food taken off the shelves, just that instead of going to charity/foodbanks/bin it now goes to a local biogas plant.
