Biomass energey from starch a good chance

Biomass feedstocks include:

  1. agricultural residues (straws, corn stalks and cobs, bagasse, cotton gin trash, palm oil wastes, etc.),
  2. crops grown specifically for their biomass (grasses, sweet sorghum, fast growing trees, etc.),
  3. paper (recycled newspaper, paper mill sludge's,
  4. sorted municipal solid waste, etc.),
  5. wood wastes (prunings, wood chips, sawdust, etc.),
  6. and
  7. green wastes (leaves, grass clippings, vegetable and fruit wastes, etc.).

The ability to utilize low cost feedstocks, and/or those that command tipping fees, to produce products that sell into highly efficient markets provides a viable business that can be sited in almost any geographic area, urban or rural. Due to its moderate use of thermal energy, the production of no waste streams, its significant environmental benefits, and minimal permitting requirements, the Technology also makes an ideal "thermal host" for cogeneration
facilities. This feed stock is excellent for xellulosic ethanol making.
A good technology was developed, you can see here
