A REVIEW ON ENERGY FROM
BIOMASS
(NON CONVENTIONAL ENERGY
SOURCES)

Importance of non-conventional
sources of energy:
1. The non-conventional sources of energy are abundant in
nature. According to energy experts the non-conventional
energy potential of India is estimated at about 95,000 MW.
2. These are renewable resources. The non-conventional
sources of energy can be renewed with minimum effort and
money.
3. Non-conventional sources of energy are pollution-free and
eco-friendly
• Bioenergy is renewable energy made available from materials derived from
biological sources.
• Biomass is any organic material, may include wood, wood waste, straw,
manure, sugar cane and many other byproducts from a variety of
agricultural processes.
Bio-Energy
Biomass
 Biomass is organic matter produced by plants – terrestrial and
aquatic – and their derivatives. It includes
1. Forest crops and residues
2. Crops specially grown in ‘energy farms’ for their energy content
3. Animal manure
Biomass Energy
• Biomass continues to account for an estimated 1/3rd of primary
energy use, while in the poorest counties up to 90% of all energy is
supplied by biomass
• Biomass energy, or bio energy is the conversion of biomass (organic
material originating from plants, trees, and crops and essentially
the collection and storage of the sun’s energy through
photosynthesis) into useful forms of energy such as heat, electricity,
and liquid fuels
Biomass Energy Conversion Technologies
Biomass energy conversion technologies/applications include:
• Combustion
• Gasification
• Anaerobic Digestion
• Liquid Biofuels
Deenabandhu Biogas Project Model
Present State of Biomass Energy
in India
• 3,500 MW of power generation through biogases based co-
generation in sugar mills.
• 537 MW has so far been commissioned
• 536 MW is under installation

Main Advantages of Biomass Energy
• Indigenous source
• Economic development opportunities in rural areas
• The pollutant emissions from combustion of biomass are usually lower
than those from fossil fuels
• Commercial use of biomass
• Improve fertility of soil
Environmental Advantages
• Renewable resource
• Reduces landfills
• Protects clean water supplies
• Reduces acid rain and smog
• Reduces greenhouse gases
• Carbon dioxide
• Methane
Disadvantages of Biomass Energy
• It is dispersed and land intensive as a source
• It is often of low energy density
• It is labour intensive and the cost of collecting large quantities for
commercial application is significant
Fuel Properties of Biogas
Calorific Value
60% Methane : 22.350 to 24.22 MJ/m3.
Without CO2 : 33.525 to 35.390 MJ/m3.
Octane rating without CO2 : 130
Octane rating with CO2 : 110
Ignition temperature : 6500 C
Air to methane ratio for complete
Combustion (by volume) : 10 to 1
Explosive limits to air (by volume) : 5 to 15
Applications
• Anaerobic digestion is used for effluent and sewage treatment.
• Anaerobic digestion is a simple process that can greatly reduce the
amount of organic matter which might otherwise be destined to be
landfilled or burnt in an incinerator.
• Almost any organic material can be processed with anaerobic digestion.
This includes biodegradable waste materials such as waste paper, grass
clippings, leftover food, sewage and animal waste.
• Anaerobic digesters can also be fed with specially grown energy crops
such as silage for dedicated biogas production.
