Perhaps, it should read no "net" carbon dioxide since the carbon dioxide 
removed from the air during production (i.e., growth) of the biomass fuel may 
be greater than the carbon dioxide released during combustion.

 Say what?  The last two are renewable, but they darn well DO produce CO2;
 it's just a different carbon source.
