Abstract: Abstract The use of biomass to generate heat, energy, and petroleum substitutes such as bio-oil or bio-crude has showed much promise as a tool for reducing our reliance on imported oil and reducing the world’s total carbon output through carbon recycling. This chapter provides a case of technology assessment of biomass conversion technologies assuming a hypothetical organization, Green Tech. The chapter outlines the steps on how Green Tech went from defining a problem to performing a gap analysis, defining requirements, identifying selection criteria, and finally performing a cost–benefit analysis on three biomass conversion technologies.
