Biomass energy

what is biomass ?

There are a number of

technological options available

to make use of a wide variety

of biomass types as a renewable

energy source. Conversion

technologies may release the

energy directly, in the form of

heat or electricity, or may convert it to another form, such as liquid biofuel or combustible biogas. While for some classes of biomass resource there may be a number of usage options, for others there may be only one appropriate technology.

biomass is a biological martial from living,

or recently living organisms.Most often referring to plants or plant delivered materials.

Chemical conversion

A range of chemical processes may be used to convert biomass into other forms, such as to produce a fuel that is more conveniently used, transported or stored, or to exploit some property of the process itself. Many of these processes are based in large part on similar coal-based processes, such as Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, methanol production, olefins (ethylene and propylene), and similar chemical or fuel feedstocks. In most cases, the first step involves gasification, which step generally is the most expensive and involves the greatest technical risk

energy also holds the

promise of reducing

carbon dioxide

emissions,a significant contributor to global warming, carbon dioxide acts as a “greenhouse” gas by trapping heat absorbed by the earth from the sun. Although the burning of biomass energy releases as much carbon dioxide as fossil fuels, biomass burning does not release “new carbon” into the atmosphere while burning fossil fuels does.[6] This is because carbon dioxide released from fossil fuels was carbon that was fixated via photosynthesis millions of years ago that had been locked in the hydrocarbons of fossil fuels.

The End

Biochemical conversion

As biomass is a natural material, many highly efficient biochemical processes have developed in nature to break down the molecules of which biomass is composed, and many of these biochemical conversion processes can be harnessed.

biomass facts

fact

Example of biomass energy

usage in US: Washington

biomass is

already producing electricity,

steam and fuels while creating

jobs from clean, sustainable

sources of energy.

Biomass is the top candidate

for oil equivalents, and indeed

biodiesel has been getting more

attention of late as a renewable

and low-net-carbon method of

fueling vehicles.

people use it for cooking and

heating for thousands of years

today they also use it for technology

plant materials by biomass can even

create electricity

The biomass power generating

industry in the United States,

which consists of approximately

11,000 MW of summer operating

capacity actively supplying power to the grid, produces about 1.4 percent

of the U.S. electricity supply.[29]

Thermal conversion

Biomass briquettes are an example fuel

for production of dendrothermal energy

Thermal conversion processes use heat

as the dominant mechanism to convert

biomass into another chemical form. The basic alternatives of combustion, torrefaction, pyrolysis, and gasification

are separated principally by the extent

to which the chemical reactions involved are allowed to proceed (mainly controlled by the availability of oxygen and

conversion temperature).
