Biomass Magazine's Most Read Stories of 2013
December 27, 2013
BY Anna Simet
Being that this is my last blog of 2013, I thought it would be appropriate to take a look back at the past year’s news and bring to your attention—and fingertips—the most read stories.
For web articles, which are news items posted daily to biomassmagazine.com, I filtered out the most read 20 stories of 2013. I found that rather than one specific sector possessing the bulk of the most popular stories, it was quite a mix of biomass power and thermal, pellets, biogas and advanced biofuels, and ranges from policy to market growth to cutting-edge technology/research.
So here they are, in no particular order:
