I think the confusion is based on the premis that the heat value of biomass
will remain stable while the heat value of petroleum increases. If the
biomass can be converted into a high quality product then the heat value of
biomass as measured in dollars should increase proportionally with the heat
value of petroleum measured in dollars.


The kicker being that the cost of the biomass conversion will likely
increase disproportionally with increasing conventional fuel costs.

So why is it used here in Sweden ?
