    Eighty percent of black carbon emissions come from fossil fuels and biomass burning associated with deforestation; reducing black carbon emissions may be the quickest, cheapest way to save the climate Dr. Mae-Wan Ho

    New research shows that airborne soot, or black carbon (BC) aerosols resulting from incomplete combustion, are warming the earth much more than previously thought [1]. According to Veerabhadran Ramanathan at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography San Diego and Greg Carmichael at the University of Iowa, the warming effect of black carbon is 55 percent that of CO2, the biggest contributor to global warming.

    If the said Biomass Burning Generator can be burned cleanly... then it is probably a different story.
    I beg to disagree.

    Climate Change was the result of Global Dimming and Warming. And
    global warming is the result of human activities such as excessive carbon emission.

    Thus, IMHO, dependence on fossil fuel to run power plants, factories and vehicles is among the major global problems that needs solution.

    As mentioned in the article you quoted, eighty percent of black carbon emissions come from fossil fuels (due to incomplete combustion). But the report also says biomass is bad because its associated with deforestation.

    The article I quoted talks about biomass burning rice husks and its environmental friendly.

    Although, I maybe corrected with my idea that biomass using rice husks is bad for the ecosystem.
