Sustainable Energy Handbook. Module 4.5: Industrial heat and electricity produced by biomass

Energy is an important sector for development and a key cooperation area between the donor community and the partner countries. Given the growing role of the energy sector in the portfolio of development projects, this handbook has been designed to provide a general contextual introduction to a number of energy-related subjects.

The handbook is organised in separate modules in such a way that it is easy to immediately get answers, information and useful figures as well as a valid and valuable source for links on each subject.
