Energy, 1976, vol. 1, issue 1, 53-61

Abstract: The economics of terrestrial growth of vegetation for its energy content is far more favorable than other more technically sophisticated methods of large-scale solar energy conversion—mirrors, photovoltaics, etc. This paper summarizes our view of what might be attainable in biomass production, hoping, thereby, to stimulate interest in the concept.
