I recognize this conversation is talking about biomass on a large scale, but I wish there were also more discussions about burning wood on a smaller scale - as in home by home. 

Masonry heaters have been used in Europe in many forms for thousands of years.  They are very efficient, both in terms of heat produced per amount of wood burned, and as far as the minimal amount of air pollution produced.  See http://mha-net.org/ and www. tulikivi.com for additional information.
