- Biomass energy is produced through photosynthesis in green plants, where plants use carbon dioxide, water, sunlight and minerals to produce organic matter containing stored energy.
- Common sources of biomass include cultivated crops, agricultural waste, forest waste, animal waste, algae, and aquatic weeds. Biomass can be converted into useful energy forms like heat, biogas, solid fuels, liquid fuels and organic chemicals.
- Important biomass conversion processes include direct combustion, thermochemical processes like gasification and pyrolysis, and biochemical processes like anaerobic digestion. Anaerobic digestion is used in biogas plants to produce methane gas from biomass sources like animal dung and agricultural waste.

The raw materials can be converted to heat for use in buildings and industry, to electricity, or into gaseous or liquid fuels, which can be used in transport, for example. This degree of flexibility is unique amongst the different forms of renewable energy.
How to Start Biogas Production, Biogas – An Intense Opportunity (Landfill Gas...Ajjay Kumar Gupta
Generally, biogas is a renewable fuel. In any country, for cooking or heating purposes biogas can be used as a low-cost fuel. Biogas can be used as a fuel in stationary and mobile engines, to supply motive power, pump water, drive machinery (e.g., threshers, grinders) or generate electricity. It can be used in both spark and compression (diesel) engines. The spark ignition engine is easily modified to run on biogas by using a gas carburetor.

2. STORAGE OF RENEWABLE ENERGY
BY PHOTOSYNTHESIS
IN GREEN PLANTS (ORIGIN OF BIOMASS)
• The origin of biomass energy resources is through the
Photosynthesis in green plants under sunlight.
Photosynthesis means synthesis of chemicals using
light. Green plants consume atmospheric carbon-dioxide
gas, moisture, minerals and water from earth/water and
photo energy from the sunlight and produce biomass
containing energy.
3. Biomass Energy
Biomass:
– renewable organic matter
– produced by plants through photosynthesis.
6CO2 + 6H2O
Sunligh
t
Chlorophyll
t
(CH2O)6 + 6O2 + 636 k Cal.
(biomass)
– It can be converted into useful forms of
energy through different conversion routes.
– It is a source of ‘5F’
Food, Fodder, Fuel, Fiber and Fertilizer.
4. BIOMASS TERMINOLOGY
Biomass
Biomass is biological material derived from
living, or recently living organisms.
The term equally apply to both animal and vegetable
derived material, but in the context of energy, it refers to
plant based material.
Biomass Energy
Energy obtained from biomass is called
biomass energy.
Bio-fuel
Fuels produced from Biomass (bio-gas, biodiesel).
5. Biomass Energy Resource
The raw Biomass for extracting secondary
energy (fuel, organic chemicals, etc.) is called
biomass energy resources.
Biomass energy resources are:
- Botanical plants
- Vegetation
- Algae
- Animals
- Organisms living on land or in water
7. Sources of Biomass
• Land
– Agriculture waste
– Energy plantation
– Forest
• Aquatic
– Plants (e.g. hyacinth)
– Algae
8. • In all these biomass Energy is stored in
the form of complex organic compounds
of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, etc.
• The biomass can be converted to useful
energy forms such as:
– Heat
– Gaseous fuel
– Solid fuels
– Organic chemical
– Liquid fuels
9. Two type of biomass resources
• Nurtured: Biomass from cultivated fields,
crops, forests and harvested periodically,
Aquatic and marina plants.
• Waste Material: Biomass from waste e.g.
municipal waste, animal excreta/dung,
forest waste, agricultural waste,
bioprocess waste, Industrial waste,
butchery waste, fishery wastes,
processing waste etc.
11. Potential of biomass resources
• 546 MT of agricultural residues / annum
• 433 MT of cattle dung /annum from 273 million cattle
population
• Fuel wood consumption – 227 MT/year.
Floating plants
waste (aquatic)
Types of Biomass resources
12. Energy Plantations
•
Growing of selected species of tree and plants on a short
rotation basis on waste or arable land for energy generation
point of view e.g.
– Acacia nilotica (Babul, grows even in wasteland)
– Dalbergia Sissoo (Sheesham, high calorific value, up to 4900 kcal/kg)
– Prosopis Juliflora (Vilayati Babul, Root up to 50m)
– Albizzia Lebbeck (Siris)
Acacia Nilotica
Dalbergi Sissoo
Prosopis Juliflora
Albizza Lebbeck
13. Energy Plantations
(aquatic)
• Growing of floating water plants e.g., water hyacinth in
rivers, lakes, ponds etc in tropical / sub-tropical area
(yield 25 T(dry)/ha/yr)
14. • Biomass energy is well known since
dawn of agricultural age.
– Wood, cow dung etc. are used as fuels
particularly in rural and tribal areas.
• Biomass energy is produced in green
plants by photosynthesis in presence of
sun light.
• Other living organisms consume green
plants or their products and generate
biomass.
15. • Biomass cycle maintains the
environmental balance of oxygen,
carbon- dioxide, rain etc.
• Biomass energy technology is an
environment friendly technology.
• Biomass is being used for production at
process heat, electricity, gaseous, liquid
and solid fuels etc.
16. SCOPE OF BIOMASS
• Rural applications of biomass energy.
• Urban and industrial applications of biomass
energy.
• Biomass as a primary source for large scale
electrical power generation.
• Present contribution of biomass energy is
between 4% to 18% of total energy consumption
of various countries.
• It is expected by 2015 it will become 25% - 40%
as disposal of agriculture byproduct is becoming
a serious threat to environment.

(Damage to environment and
Loss of huge source of energy)
19. A Typical Power-plant
Only Boiler
&
ESP
needs to be
redesigned
ESP (Emergency Shutdown Procedure)
provides a means whereby the operator
can, in a single operation, shut down the
boiler by removing all fuels and place the
boiler in a predefined condition to safely
remove all combustible gases and isolate
any possible source of water or steam.
22. Biomass from Water bodies
Algae biomass is an important renewable
source of energy produced by photosynthesis.
Algae ponds at Ashkelon, Israel
23. • The algae is produced in algae farms. Algae
contains organic matter which can be
converted into methane gas (a useful fuel) in a
simple biogas plant by the process called
anaerobic digestion. Algae crops are likely to
be cultivated on large scale to obtain renewable
energy.
• The process of algae production. After
extracting the biogas, the organic residue from
the biogas-plant is added to the algae pond. This
acts as a food to the bacteria in algae pond.
Special fast growing and energy packed algae
species are developed by genetic research. The
algae-bacterial combination consumes the waste
organic water in the pond, absorbs solar energy
and results in rapid growth of algae.
24. • There are several alternative routes for
producing useful secondary energies from
biomass.
Biomass Technologies deal with the entire
processes of producing biomass, processing the
biomass and delivering the useful secondary
energies.
• Biomass energy obtained from the plant
photosynthesis is likely to solve the energy
problem in the coming years in a significant way.
Energy strategies of various countries are
focusing their attention on biomass resources.

The world’s biomass through municipal solid waste in about
60,00,000 tones per day. About 3% of it can be converted into
electricity and heat contributing about 20,000 MW
27. • In developing countries fuel-wood constitutes
about 75% of energy needs of rural areas. It is
covered in the category ‘non-commercial energy
resource’. Deforestation is a serious problem
created by the use of wood as a fuel. However,
by planned forestation of fast growing trees as a
source of energy, wood is likely to be an
important renewable source of energy.
• Waste biomass serves double purpose:
– Disposal of waste in a safe, economical and
environmentally healthy manner.
– Generating useful energy from the waste.
28. BIOMASS CONVERSION PROCESSES
The energy technology is concerned in conversion of
biomass into useful secondary energy. A few energy
conversion processes suitable for commercial
applications have been developed whereas several other
conversion processes are under research and
development stage.
The biomass conversion process (Bio conversion
process) has several routes depending upon temperature,
pressure, micro-organisms, and process conditions.
These routes are classified in following three broad
categories.
• Direct combustion (Incineration)
• Thermo-chemical conversion
• Biochemical conversion
30. • Chemical and biological treatment of biomass is
known as Digestion.
• Biological treatment can be done either in
presence of oxygen (aerobic) or in absence of
oxygen (anaerobic).
• In India Anaerobic Digestion Plants are
commonly known as Biogas Plants or Gobar
Gas Plants. In such plants slurry of cow dung
and water is fed to the digester and is allowed to
ferment for a few weeks. The biogas is released.
The biogas contains about 55% of methane
(CH4). This gas is used as a fuel.
38. Floating Dome Type Biogas Plant

41. Advantages of Floating
Dome Design
Disadvantages of Floating
Dome Design
The slurry is constantly submerged
below the dome.
Higher cost due to fabricated dome
construction.
The pressure is naturally equalised.
Dome upper surface is exposed to
sunlight and external atmosphere. The
heat is lost during winters.
No danger of excessive pressure.
The outlet pipe between the floating dome
and fixed external connection should be of
flexible hose type. It is subjected to sun
rays, rain and movement. It needs regular
attention and maintenance.
No danger of mixing between biogas
and external air. Hence no danger of
explosion.
Gas is obtained at uniform and
constant pressure.
Gas does not leak through the dome
as the slurry provides natural seen.
