	Hi, Iam a biomass consultant tasked to coordinate the activities prior,during and indeed after ther establishment of the forementioned project.I am a Zambian and an agricultural scientist. Question. Assist with imformation to the estimation of the amount of biomasss required for a 1 MW power plant.(feedstock,saw dust,saplings,twigs and agricultural waste in pellet or briquette form. Will be most grateful at the assistance, Kind regards, MAMBO TEMBO

	That is the sort of information that one might reasonably expect a Biomass Consultant to know already, particularly if one were paying for the service. __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856

	Iam a biomass consultant tasked to coordinate the activities prior,during and indeed after ther establishment of the forementioned project.I am a Zambian and an agricultural scientist. I am a retired US Agricultural researcher currently involved with making ethanol from biomass. You are going to find, as I have, that all biomass is not created equal. Coal, petroleum, natural gas, hydroelectric and nuclear power have predictable energy outputs, while wind,solar, tidal energy and biomass can be quite variable. We found the same variability in moving from feed grains and sugarcane to biomass as ethanol feedstock. You may find it possible to create a standard biomass feedstock by blending several biomass sources to a standard level, like they use blends of 5 to 8 basic whiskies to make a blend with a constant flavor. If the product is pelleted biomass, you may need to do that to produce a standardized pellet with a constant BTU value __________________ Just because it has a patent doesn't mean it is the best solution.

	*biomass consultant* Maybe BS consultant. Scientist is a strong word too. Are you sure you are up to this? __________________ The Twain Has Met
