Electricity and heat from biomass contributes to the worldwide renewable energy supply. The current policy guidelines underline the importance and contribute significantly to the development of energy generation with solid biofuels in Germany. Technically, the corresponding combustion processes have been well studied thus allowing efficient use of the energy contained in the fuel. The processing of biomass, however, which includes storage and drying, causes substantial qualitative as well as quantifiative losses due to the metabolic activity of ubiquitous micro-organisms.
