Biomass can be a practical alternative for small district heating schemes in rural areas. Traditional biomass is wood residue and excess straw from agriculture being burned to provide heat or power. There are also common gasification plants that produce a gas comprised mainly of carbon monoxide and hydrogen from plant material. This has the advantage which is capable of transportation by pipeline or being filled into cylinders for distribution. Pyrolyis, as it is known, is being investigated in many countries presently.
