A local biomass debris reclamation site takes limbs and grinds them up on site and turns them into wood fuel for wood-fired boilers for power production."It's basically carbon neutral," Ed Buford with the Angelina Fuels LLC said. "With fossil fuels you are adding carbon to the atmosphere when you burn it. With biomass, the carbon is already there, so you are not adding any new carbon to the atmosphere. It's better than coal-fired plants by far."(Link)

biomass is not carbon neutral. woody biomass plants emit far more co2 per unit of energy produced than coal plants. this is a specious argument advanced by proponents of incineration-based energy technologies.
