You are quite correct about the proposed use of Ecuador's natural gas. It has been some time since I looked into it and the rhetoric had changed. A quick review of their natural gas efforts would be comical if so much money had not been wasted on it. It seems the Correa regime couldn't get anything right, except fill their offshore accounts.
I am not a big fan of biomass as fuel at the industrial scale. The popular view is that biomass will come from existing tree farms, but the reality is that it is far cheaper to cut natural stands first, especially in the Third World.
