Abstract :
Solution strategies and the technology required or available for solving the energy and employment problems of developing countries are outlined. They include biomass-based power systems-both small scale (up to 50 kW) and large scale (5-10 MW) and strategies for increasing biomass production in rural areas. A strong plea for international cooperation in developing technologies for rural areas is made
