!!!Biomasse

Biomass, renewable CO%%sup 2/%-neutral energy source obtained from 
biological processes (wood, straw, etc) for the production of 
alternative energy etc. ( alternative energy sources). The proportion 
of biomass in primary energy use rose from 3.4% in the 1970s to 12% in 
1995 and is still growing. 99% of bio-energy is obtained from biomass: 
70% from fire wood, 14% from wood shavings, bark and chippings, 14% 
from waste lyes from the paper industry and 1% from straw. 1% comes 
from waste-tip gas, sewage gas and methane. The proportion of biomass 
in electricity production is still clearly below 1% but is hoped to be 
increased in the immediate future. Amongst the Austrian Federal 
Provinces, Upper Austria obtains the most energy from biomass.
