“…The contradictory in theory task is not a contradictory task in reality. Historically there are examples that rather support the claim [1]. The concentration of production in one spot in the global economy will automatically lead to the spill over of the production to other regions and to the migration of the labour force to this region thus rendering the idea of the closed economy unsustainable.…”

Modern technologies allow much higher rate of prosperity than normally seen around the globe. The development can be achieved based on the local resources. Pyrolysis should play the central role on the initial stage of the processing of the biomass. The practical experience made by the development engineers allow to make solid conclusion about the current problems faced during the introduction of the technology. The introduction of pyrolysis technologies, especially in developing countries, faces non-engineering problems. The assessment of the economic viability of the introduced technological process can be performed based on the coverage of the global deficit, primarily in terms of resources substituted as inputs. To motivate the local population, it is proposed to introduce a large number of small production facilities with a unified system of coordination of producers and partial transfer of ownership rights. The regional economy should undergo the balanced growth and be protected by cheap quasi real regional currency and expensive accumulative currency. The reginal saving rate can be regulated, allowing for the accelerated rate of regional investments. New green technologies based on pyrolysis should allow for the new regional economic policy named “Green economic defensive initiative”.

“…Most of the needs of the pre-industrial communities could be produced locally and in the household, although a few merchants provided necessities and luxury items that were not of local manufacture. 31 The dependence on local social ties to maintain economic independence is also described by Clark, who suggests that the emphasis on barter payments, continuing well into the nineteenth century, reflected conditions in which social relationships engendered under such a system were more valuable than cash. 32 Clark explains the rise of industrial capitalism in the agricultural areas of western Massachusetts.…”

“…À partir des années 1970, certains historiens s'évertuent à réhabiliter le cultivateur franco-québécois en s'efforçant de lui découvrir la même mentalité commerciale que ses compatriotes anglophones (Lewis et Mclnnis 1980, 1984McCallum 1980 ; Paquet et Wallot 1972Wallot , 1986 5 .

“…À travers tout le Nord-Est, les fermes familiales aspirent avant tout à assurer leur subsistance (Cohen 1988 ;Weiman 1989), sans que cela ne suppose l'autarcie. Elles se monétarisent (Bushman 1981 ;Gross 1982 ;Pruitt 1984 ;Nobles 1988 ;Weiman 1989) et vont même chercher à l'extérieur un revenu d'appoint pour arrondir les fins de mois (McMurry 1989 ;Nobles 1988).…”
