Engineering360: "Treating Used Wood as an Energy Resource"

But what is the cost of recovery and processing? If it doesn't make economic sense, then this is useless information.... Spending $10 to recover material that sells for $5 is not feasible....

Looks like there is a slowness to awake to reality. Sweden and Nordic countries do this every day and they produce electricity and hot water for central heating in houses, flats and business.

What you should be asking is, 'Can the current society manage to adapt and have a clean regime in place as part of a daily life style'. Especially in the western countries.

Africa recycles almost everything. So why is the west so slow to what happens elsewhere? We seem to make it out to be a revelation, which it is not. People do recycle very well elsewhere in the world. It is part of their daily lives.
