This report assesses the variables involved in determining
whether or not biopower (i.e., electricity generated from
biomass) is a carbon-neutral alternative to fossil fuels as a
way to help meet meet U.S. energy demands and reduce U.S.
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It includes information about
the biomass carbon cycle, GHG accounting for biopower
production, recent developments affecting the assessment, and
overview of whether or not it can be considered carbon neutral,
and legislative implications. Contributing Partner: UNT
