A projection of biomass energy consumption in the United States for the years 2000, 2010, 2020, and 2030 is shown in Table 6 by end use sector (12). This analysis is based on a National Premiums Scenario which assumes that specific market incentives are appHed to aU. new renewable energy technology deployment. The scenario depends on the enactment of federal legislation equivalent to a fossil fuel consumption tax. Any incentives over and above those in place (ca 1992) for use of renewable energy will have a significant impact on biomass energy consumption.

The issues of faciUtating options such as energy storage and transmission may prove to be important to the success of wind energy technology. Cost-effective storage coupled to wind systems would yield capacity credit benefits. In addition, because sites are often isolated, the value of wind energy would benefit from transmission/distribution access. 

An important by-product of most energy technologies is heat. Few energy conversion processes are carried out without heat being rejected at some point in the process stream. Historically, it has been more convenient as weU as less cosdy to reject waste heat to the environment rather than to attempt significant recovery. The low temperatures of waste heat in relation to process requirements often make reuse impractical and disposal the only attractive alternative (see Process energy conservation).
