Biomass energy (生物能), often forgotten as promising alternative (替代物)to oil , received its day in the sun with the gathering of the Bio-Energy World Congress and Exposition in Atlanta , Georgia , late in April , 1990 . Nearly 1700 scientists , businessmen , and policy-makers , one-quarter from the foreign nations, gathered for a week to discuss various means of squeezing usable energy out of trees , crops manure , seaweed , algae and urban waste . Biomass in the United States contributes 2.5 percent of the total supply , but this amount can be doubled by 2000 and then doubled again by the year 2010.
