Biomass refers to organic material from plants and animals that can be used as an energy source. Through photosynthesis, plants absorb solar energy and convert it into chemical energy stored in biomass. Biomass is a renewable resource and includes materials such as agricultural waste, wood, and algae. It can be burned directly for heat and electricity or processed into biofuels like ethanol. The use of biomass has advantages like being renewable and storing energy, but also has disadvantages like competing with food production and having high costs.

To Improve the Calorific Value of Cotton Waste by Anaerobic Digestionijsrd.com
Ginning industries, spinning mills and other composite textiles industries produce a lot of cotton waste annually. This waste is rich in cellulose and solid contents with sufficient carbon to nitrogen ratios. However a lot of chemicals are already present in cotton waste at the end of various processes like dyeing, finishing, washing, etc. This reduces the fuel value of cotton by lowering down its calorific value. The calorific value (or energy value or heating value) of a substance, usually a fuel or food (see food energy), is the amount of heat released during the combustion of a specified amount of it. Improving the calorific value of cotton by anaerobic digestion is an environment friendly approach of converting waste to energy.

Removing carbon out of the air by bioenergy crops compressedEmiliano Maletta
Growing biomass with regenerative agriculture approaches becomes a solid and commercially mature opportunity by providing biofertilizers and a carbon negative solution and green energy, animal feed and biomaterials access to reduction costs. A growing bioeconomy in next 30 years becomes also influenced by carbon bonds reaching prices between 25 and 75 USD/tCO2 captured and/or sequestered. Biochar production and bio-coal filtering products take value added products between 400 and 2000 USD/ton and feedstock costs range 30 to 120 USD/ton. Coupled thermal applications are part of the system therefore allowing developers to process several fossil based products such as steel, cement or plastics into a lower footprint alternatives. Commercial applications are feasible and available in most markets with high level of demonstration (high Technology Readiness Index).

Abstract. Biomass is part of the carbon cycle. Carbon dioxide is produced after combustion of biomass. Over a
relatively short timescale, carbon dioxide is renewed from atmosphere during next generation of new growth of
green vegetation. Contribution of renewable energy including hydropower, solar, biomass and biofuel in total
primary energy consumption in world is about 19%. Traditional biomass alone contributes about 13% of total
primary energy consumption in the world. The number of traditional biomass energy users expected to rise from 2.5
billion in 2004 to 2.6 billion in 2015 and to 2.7 billion in 2030 for cooking in developing countries. Residential
biomass demand in developing countries is projected to rise from 771 Mtoe in 2004 to 818 Mtoe in 2030. The main
sources of biomass are wood residues, bagasse, rice husk, agro-residues, animal manure, municipal and industrial
waste etc. Dedicated energy crops such as short-rotation coppice, grasses, sugar crops, starch crops and oil crops are
gaining importance and market share as source of biomass energy. Global trade in biomass feedstocks and processed
bioenergy carriers are growing rapidly. There are some drawbacks of biomass energy utilization compared to fossil
fuels viz: heterogeneous and uneven composition, lower calorific value and quality deterioration due to uncontrolled
biodegradation. Loose biomass also is not viable for transportation. Pelletization, briquetting, liquefaction and
gasification of biomass energy are some options to solve these problems. Wood fuel production is very much steady
and little bit increase in trend, however, the forest land is decreasing, means the deforestation is progressive. There is
a big challenge for sustainability of biomass resource and environment. Biomass energy can be used to reduce
greenhouse emissions. Woody biomass such as briquette and pellet from un-organized biomass waste and residues
could be used for alternative to wood fuel, as a result, forest will be saved and sustainable carbon sink will be
developed. Clean energy production from biomass (such as ethanol, biodiesel, producer gas, bio-methane) could be
viable option to reduce fossil fuel consumption. Electricity generation from biomass is increasing throughout the
world. Co-firing of biomass with coal and biomass combustion in power plant and CHP would be a viable option for
clean energy development. Biomass can produce less emission in the range of 14% to 90% compared to emission
from fossil for electricity generation. Therefore, biomass could play a vital role for generation of clean energy by
reducing fossil energy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The main barriers to expansio ...
2. BIOMASS FORMATION The basic model of take up and accumulation of the solar power is the one that there carry out the plant green species the only energetic renewable source that carries likewise a storage in the shape of energy of high quality: the chemical energy. This process has supported the life in the Earth to the present day in the shape of organic matter, which turns out to be a stored solar power and is named a " energy of the biomass ".
3. NATURAL TYPES OF RESOURCES Resources can be of twotypes:"Theresourcesthat are renewablelikesolar and wind."The non-renewable are thosethatexist in fixedamountsonEarth and takemillions of yearstoregenerate as fossilfuels.
4. FROM BIOMASS The training of alive matter or biomass from the solar light is carried out by the process named photosynthesis thanks to which there take place big molecules of contained energetic high place (in the shape of chemical energy), whose cost of storage is void and, at first, without losses.
5. WHAT IS IT? Biomass is any organic material from plants or animals. In domestic biomass resources are derived from agricultural and forestry residues, municipal solid wastes, industrial wastes, and terrestrial and aquatic crops grown solely for energy purposes
6. What are biofuels? Vegetable oils represent a large group of biofuels that can replace fossil fuels, either directly or through some complex chemical transformations. What are the alcoholics fuels? Alcohols are most currently used biofuels in some countries, both to provide an outlet for agricultural surpluses alcohol convertible into financial difficulties in the importation of fossil fuels.
7. Whatiscomposting? Composting, the controlled fermentation of organic waste for compost, is a waste processing cheap and very useful in areas of the world with poor agricultural soils.Commodity of the process comes from municipal solid waste (MSW), manure and sewage sludge. For MSW, treatment should be envisaged separation of the organic fraction, and the elimination of the final rejection of composting in a landfill orincinerator
8. What is What is biogas?a digestor? A mixture of methane and other gases that evolved during the anaerobic degradation of organic matter by the action of microorganisms. A device that allows carrying out the controlled anaerobic degradation of organic waste for biogas and other utility products.
9. Isiteconomicalbiomass? The agricultural and forestry biomass is an important economic potential especially in the tropics and subtropics, since such conditions are most suitable for the development of plants. The photosynthetic organisms, both terrestrial and marine, can be regarded as continuous converters of solar energy, and therefore renewable organic matter. The plants through photosynthesis annually set an amount of carbon equivalent in energy to 2.1021 joules, or approximately 10 times the world energy consumption approximately 200 times the energy consumed as food.
10. Biomass in Spain The biomass in the renewable source of greatest potential in Spain and quantified using resources 25'7 Mtoe. (million tonnes oil equivalent), equivalent to an amount greater than all the energy consumption of the Spanish industry. However, government plans to spend just to "stay where we are" though officials point out some usable resources of 10 Mtoe. / Year, the authorities lack the political will to stop throwing away all that potential energy and the Plan national energy refers only to the use of 2.8 Mtoe. In the year 2000.
11. The biomass in the world Although our country has carried out between 1996 and 1990 a total of 235 facilities for the use of biomass, we are still far from achieving the level of France, the leader of the EC in which six million households use wood as a heat source, or Denmark, where a plant burns 28,000 tons of straw annually to produce 13 MW. electricity. In Brazil, some 2,000,000 vehicles run on almost pure alcohol, derived from the cultivation of sugar cane, and 8,000,000 more use a mixture of gasoline and alcohol
14. Disadvantages Competition for land use for food. Cost-Uncertainty Requirements for water and soil fertilizer Appeal of low energy density and transportation problems
15. Conclusions -increase its use.-To promote rural industrialization.-To promote the new energy crops.-Give priority to its use in transportation.-Promote the facilities to produce small costs.-To promote agricultural machinery industries.Foster-technology industries using biomass
