Задание 1. Прочитайте текст и письменно переведите на русский язык выделенный курсивом отрывок.
Biomass is already widely used to generate electricity in the forest products industries using wood wastes as fuel for steam-turbine systems. However, steam turbines are relatively expensive and inefficient at the small scale to which biomass use is best suited. In addition, readily available resources of low-cost biomass are needed to make this approach economic. Integrated gasification/gas turbine technology offers a more promising route to biomass power. Hot fuel gases are generated form biomass and used to drive a gas turbine which in turn generates electricity. Shell companies are involved in a development program to construct a biomass power demonstration plant in Brazil fuelled by biomass from a eucalyptus plantation. The project has financial support from the UN Global Environmental Facility.
Биомасса уже широко используется для выработки электроэнергии в лесной промышленности, используя древесные отходы в качестве топлива для паротурбинных систем.
