edited by Behdad Moghtaderi and James Ness

"The drivers for cofiring coal and biomass are a net reduction in harmful emissions, a higher thermal efficiency compared with purpose-built biomass-fired power plants and a low capital investment route to achieve these outcomes. In Australia the Mandatory Renewable Energy Target )MRET) provides added incentive for adoption through recognition of biomass cofiring as a accredited method of reducing greenhouse gases. -- Foreword
