A report by The World Wide Fund for Nature states that using biomass, a type of fuel made of materials such as wood and manure, could drastically lower the world’s carbon dioxide emissions which contribute to global warming. The European Union is hoping for 10% of its total energy, and 18-19% of its electricity, to come from biomass by the year 2010.
"The report indicated that this could reduce emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), the main global warming gas, by about 1,000 million tons each year -- a figure equivalent to the combined annual emissions of Canada and Italy,"
