I was thinking about how to decentralize energy production. Coal, gas and uranium, wind and water are largely off limits to civilians.
What about biomass? What would be the minimum requirements to create a functional power source from greenwaste?

For forest residuals, the logistics of transporting it from the woods to a facility preclude their widespread use. The functional "woodbasket" for a forestry-fueled co-gen facility has very small radius. It can be a great supplement for other power sources in a limited fashion.

Wood is a fucking shit energy source for scale because it has a really low energy density. Great for minimal local use, cuz, you know, you can find wood anywhere you find trees, but it is pretty it cant compare to fossil fuels, like coal, which is mostly made out of old, concentrated wood.
