This is a description of a hybrid poplar fired poer plant in Wisconsin. The tree has similar caracteristics to the aspen, but grows faster and would be adaptable to the Eurasian zones I cited.

Pretty good analysis here too. I think the process and the potentials are very interesting, but I am not an industrial engineer.

Re: wood biomass (none / 0)

This is interesting but it's not biofuels in the sense of liquid fuels (ethanol, biodiesel), but biomass for electricity generation. Why I asked about it is that there may be future forestry plantations to provide cellulose for ethanol production, but I wasn't aware there were any plantations to date. The technology isn't yet ready.

AFAIK this kind of biomass electricity generation works. I don't know anything about costs. (I'm not an industrial engineer either...)
