BIOMASS

What is BIOMASS?Biomass is biological

material derived from living, or recently living organisms. Biomass can apply to both animal and vegetable derived material.

Categories of biomass materials

HOWwe can get energy from ? Fuelwood

Waste Crop Residues and Animal

Waste Energy Plantation

1) Biomass used as a fuel reduces need for fossil fuels for the production of heat, steam, and electricity for residential, industrial and agricultural use.

2)Biomass is always available and can be produced as a renewable resource.Less money spent on foreign oil.It use of waste materials reduce landfill disposal and makes more space for everything else.

3)Growing Biomass crops produce oxygen and use up carbon dioxide which is released when Biomass fuel is burned, is taken in by plants.

4.Biomass is a nature fuel such fuelwood use for cooking.( ใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใ)

5.Biomass can use power a car or other gasoline engine.

1)Agricultural wastes will not be available if the basic crop is no longer grown.

2)Additional work is needed in areas such as harvesting methods.

3)Land used for energy crops maybe in demand for other purposes, such as faming, conservation, housing, resort or agricultural use.

4)Some Biomass conversion projects are from animal wastes and are relatively small and therefore are limited. 

5)Research is needed to reduce the costs of production of Biomass based fuels.

6)Is in some cases is a major cause of pollution.
