This document discusses biomass as an energy source. It defines biomass as a renewable energy source derived from recently living organisms through photosynthesis. Biomass can be converted into electricity, fuel, and heat. The main sources of biomass are forests, plant and animal wastes, landfills, and crops. Biomass power plants gasify or combust biomass to create steam that drives turbines to generate electricity. While biomass energy has advantages like being cheap and reducing waste, challenges include its limited scale and industrial applicability.

2. INTRODUCTION.
 WHAT IS BIOMASS ?
 SOURCES OF BIOMASS.
 BIOMASS POWER PLANT.
 WORKING OF BIOMASS POWER PLANT.
 MODES OF BIOMASS POWER GENERATION.
 ADVANTAGES OF BIOMASS AS A FUEL.
 CHALLENGES IN UTILIZING BIOMASS AS A FUEL.
 CONCLUSION.

3.  Biomass is available almost everywhere in the
world.
 Enough biomass resources are present in the
world such that to cover the energy demands
of the world.
 Biomass sources for power generation is co2
neutral.

4.  Biomass is a renewable energy source that is
derived from the recently living organisms.
 Through photosynthesis plants convert
sunlight into chemical energy.
 Biomass is a stored sunlight energy, that can
be converted into:-
ELECTRICITY.
FUEL.
HEAT.

5. The main sources of biomass
are:-
 FORESTS.
 PLANT AND ANIMAL
WASTES.
 LAND FILLS.
 CROPS.
 RUBBISH MATERIALS.

6.  Biomass can be chemically and biochemically
treated to convert into energy rich fuel.
 Environmental benefits of biomass power
generation is clear and by using waste material
we are preventing that waste materials by
burdening our landfills.
 Biomass power is carbon neutral.

7.  FUEL STORAGE AND HANDLING EQUIPMENT.
 COMBUSTOR.
 BOILER.
 PUMPS.
 FANS.
 STEAM TURBINE.
 GENERATOR.
 CONDENSER.
 COOLING TOWER.
 EXHAUST.

8.  DIFFERENT BIOMASS
POWER GENERATION
MODES:-
 combustion.
 gasification combustion.
 mixed burning.
 gasification mixed
burning.

10.  COMBUSTION PROCESS:-
 Biomass is burned directly in the boiler
to produce steam to generate electricity.
 Large scale power generation can be
achieved by the combustion process.

11.  GASIFICATION COMBUSTION:-
 Solid biomass breaks down to form a
flammable gas.
 Biomass gasified first and then fuel gas
burned in the gas turbine.

12.  MIXED BURNING COMBUSTION:-
 In this type of combustion biomass is
mixed with coal and burned inside the
boiler.
 This type of combustion is mainly
suitable for timber biomass.

13.  GASIFICATION-MIXED BURNING
COMBUSTION:-
 In this type of combustion biomass is
gasified first and then fuel gas burned
with the coal in the boiler.
 This type of combustion have low
impact on original coal firing system.

15.  Biomass is the cheapest form of energy source as
it is mainly obtained by the waste material.
 Below graph shows how cheap biomass energy
is:-

16.  Minimizes cost involved with waste disposal.
 Provides job opportunity in rural areas.
 Greatly reduces our dependence on foreign
energy sources.
 overall cost for installation ,running , labour,
transmission of energy is low.

17.  Biomass energy power plant is mainly
attractive to industrial factory owners such as
sugar industry , palm oil industry because it
can produce heat and electricity for factory
use only.
 Biomass energy cannot be produced in large
scale.

19.  Biomass energy plays important role in
utility’s model to produce renewable energy.
 care must be taken to choose and locate the
appropriate fuel to meet facility’s need and
also choose the appropriate equipments to
ensure long term economic plant operations.
 Recycling of waste material can be a solution
to the disposal of waste.
