Dynamotive Energy Systems converts biomass into Bio-Oil which can be used as a fuel to generate electricity in a simple closed-loop system. Alternatively, the Bio-Oil can be produced at the site of the biomass, and then transported via truck to the generator location. The clean/green liquid fuel is far more efficient than burning biomass to generate heat.
