Conversion of biomass to energy: A meeting of the minds

The development of gaseous, liquid, and solid fuels from biomass is proceeding along parallel paths, as described in the literature and in other parts of this session. However, there is little opportunity for discussion of the issues that underlie this effort. Therefore, the final activity of this session was application of methods developed by Mortimer Adler to attain a meeting of the minds through the forum method.
