Talk:Biomass briquettes

School project edits

In the next few days this page will soon get a significant revision and subsequent editing from students participating in the Public Policy Initiative. This article was chosen because it is missing content or sourcing and has been relatively innactive. Their draft articles are being formed in their user space and will be transfered here. Links to the drafts can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject United States Public Policy/Courses/Political Economy of Technology and Science fall 2010. I will not be allowing students to that first initial transfer unless their article has been significantly improved in references and content. Please provide comments on the significant revisions and help the students improve the Wikipedia formatting. However, I would greatly appreciate that any major content changes be suggested to the students on the talk page so that they get the experience editing collaboratively and through consensus and feedback. The final date for the project is Friday December 10, expect significant editing from now until then. Thank you.

If you have any questions feel free to raise them here or on my talk page, Myself and other WP:Online Ambassadors will be monitoring their edits, so we will also be able to help fix issues on the pages, Sadads (talk) 01:17, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Clarification Required

The "Compared to Coal" section is very poorly worded, in my opinion, to the point of being virtually impossible to understand.

For example, "....a reduction 13.8% to 41.7% for CO2 and NOx...."

Does this mean:

a) Biomass Briquettes produce waste gasses of which a RANGE from 13.8% to 41.7% can be CO2 and NOx? In which case by mass or by volume?

b) Biomass Briquettes produce waste gasses of which 41.7% is CO2 and NOx, 13.8% less than the equivalent mass of coal?

IE, coal produces waste gasses of which 55.5% (13.8 "percentage points" greater than 41.7) is CO2 and NOx

OR

coal produces waste gasses of which 47.5% (13.8% greater than 41.7) is CO2 and NOx?

In either case, by mass or volume?

c) Are the given percentages CO2 AND NOx, or CO2 OR NOx?

As for "......reduction from 11.1% to 38.5% SO2.......", clearly something isn't quite right here...

I hope this doesn't all sound excessively pedantic, but I think correcting these points would help to clarify the article considerably. 82.3.144.140 (talk) 14:17, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Biomass versus Biomass Briquettes

The authors of this article refer in several places to biomass as the finished product of briquette production. "Biomass" is more properly the raw material forming the input to that process. Trashbird1240 (talk) 14:43, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
