Abstract
In a power generation system biomaterial is grown in a biomass field near a furnace. The plants or oils from the plants are periodically harvested and burned by the furnace to generate steam which runs a generator. Waste heat from the furnace and condenser is collected and returned to the biomass field. The by-products of combustion, principally heat, carbon dioxide, water vapor and ash, are in part cycled back to a biomass field as input energy and nutrients.
