Very good article! As a project-engineer of Wood Energy Switzerland I'm always interested in things that are going on about wood energy all over the world. In fact Wood Energy Switzerland has experiences of more than 20 years in this field. We provide general informations, studies, lobbying and so on all over Switzerland. May be it's time for a trans-atlantic cooperation. We'll see! Hello there!
