Biomass is a renewable source of energy from organic matter such as wood, crop residues, and mustard oil. It can be burned to produce heat or electricity. Burning biomass emits fewer greenhouse gases than fossil fuels but still pollutes the air. It has advantages as a renewable resource but also has limitations around land and resource usage and negative environmental impacts such as increased air pollution, soil erosion, and deforestation if not managed properly.
Biomass is organic material from living or recently living organisms that can be used as a renewable source of energy. It includes wood, waste from farms and factories, crops, trees, plants, garbage, and manure. Biomass is burned to produce heat that boils water to create steam, which powers turbines and generators to produce electricity. Using biomass is important because it is a renewable source that does not produce pollution and can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on foreign oil. California is a large producer of biomass that generates enough electricity from biomass for over 2 million homes annually.
This document provides an overview of biomass energy sources. It discusses that biomass is the oldest renewable energy source, as humans have used biomass through fire for centuries. The document then outlines various biomass energy topics like the global energy potential of biomass, European energy scenarios, future biomass technologies, and conclusions. Specific biomass energy sources are examined like animal residues, industrial residues, forestry and agricultural crops/residues, sewage, and municipal solid waste. Projections are also provided for biomass energy production in the European Union, India, and worldwide.
Biomass refers to natural materials that contain stored solar energy, such as wood, straw, manure, garbage, and alcohol fuels. It is found in places with abundant trees, crops, animals, and garbage. Biomass can be used on both large and small scales. The most common way to use biomass for energy is by burning it to produce heat. Large power plants burn biomass to create steam to generate electricity, while home stoves burn biomass for heating. Biomass currently accounts for around 15% of the world's total energy supply. While biomass has low costs and is widely available, there are concerns about sustainability and health impacts from large-scale biomass operations.
Biomass is an alternative power source that can be generated from organic waste materials like food scraps, garden waste, wood, and manure. The document discusses how biomass power works, providing examples of its use in landfills in Auckland and Wellington, New Zealand to generate electricity. It suggests schools could also use biomass power by collecting organic waste to fuel an on-site biogas plant and burn wood pellets to heat boilers, providing a cheap, sustainable energy option.

A presentation on non-conventional energy resources i.e. biomass. The energy obtained from biomass can be used to produce biogas which in turn can be used to produce electricity
Biomass is a renewable energy source from living or dead organisms that can be used as an alternative to fossil fuels. It has advantages such as creating more jobs, reducing dependency on imported oil, and being environmentally friendly compared to fossil fuels. However, it also has disadvantages like requiring large amounts of farmland and contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. While biomass is currently cheaper than fossil fuels, producing and collecting it can be expensive. Energy forecasts predict that biomass will generate a significant portion of the U.S.'s renewable energy in the coming years, remaining the second largest source behind hydropower.
Biomass refers to organic material from living or recently living organisms, such as wood, waste, and alcohol fuels. It can be burned directly or processed to generate heat, electricity, or fuel. Benefits include being renewable, reducing pollution compared to burning fossil fuels, and providing cheaper energy. However, biomass is also inefficient relative to fossil fuels, and harvesting biomass on a large scale could damage forests. Effective use of biomass requires consideration of costs, environmental impacts, and logistics of collection and transportation.
Biomass is an efficient non-conventional energy source that comes from biological materials like plants and animals or waste products. There are two processes for obtaining energy from biomass - direct combustion, which burns biomass directly, and indirect combustion, which converts biomass into a gas or liquid fuel like biofuel. Using biomass for energy releases few pollutants, acts as both a fuel and lubricant, and helps establish local biofuel reservoirs from waste to reduce future energy scarcity.
The document discusses biomass energy and outlines several goals and considerations for a biomass energy system, including:
1) The goals are for a system that is at least 85% efficient, robust with no single points of failure, based on conservation and renewable fuels with no climate impact, and creates sustainable local jobs.
2) Densified biomass can be used to generate thermal energy and produce items like animal bedding and composition board.
3) Pellets made from wood or cardboard provide significant energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions through fuel switching to pellets is an efficient option.
Biomass refers to plant-based materials that can be used as an energy source. It is one of the oldest sources of energy known. Biomass energy is created from materials that are or once were living plants. Common types of biomass include wood, crop waste, and animal waste. Biomass can be burned directly to produce heat or can be processed to produce other forms of energy like electricity or liquid fuels. The document provides examples of how biomass is used to produce steam to power turbines and generate electricity, as well as how methane gas captured from the decomposition of organic waste can also be used as an energy source.
Biomass is a renewable source of energy derived from organic matter such as waste wood, agricultural crops, and municipal solid waste. It can be burned to produce heat and electricity, with wood being the largest biomass energy source. In California, over 60 million tons of biomass sources like agricultural waste, dead trees, and livestock manure could generate enough electricity for about 2 million homes each year. While biomass power generation reduces landfill waste, it is generally more expensive than other energy sources.
Biomass is obtained from plant and animal matter and waste. Pakistan generates a large amount of waste daily from its large population, including 54,888 tons of municipal solid waste. Biomass and waste-to-energy plants can generate electricity from this biomass and waste, reducing fossil fuel usage and greenhouse gas emissions compared to landfilling. However, there are also challenges to widespread adoption of biomass energy, such as the high cost of biogas plants, need for continuous biomass supply, and potential diversion of food crops for fuel.
This document provides an overview of biomass energy, including its definition, how biomass plants operate to produce electricity, advantages and disadvantages, examples of large biomass plants around the world, and accidents that have occurred at some facilities. It discusses that biomass energy involves burning organic materials like wood to produce steam that drives turbines to generate electricity, and that the world's largest biomass plant is located in Poland.
Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse change.[1] Pollution can take the form of chemical substances or energy, such as noise, heat or light. Pollutants, the components of pollution, can be either foreign substances/energies or naturally occurring contaminants. Pollution is often classed as point source or nonpoint source pollution.
Biomass energy is obtained from organic matter such as wood, waste, and alcohol fuels. It is the oldest energy source used by humans dating back to the use of fire. Today, biomass provides around 10% of the world's primary energy and includes the use of wood in developing countries. Biomass can be combusted directly to produce heat, converted to generate electricity, or used to produce liquid fuels. The process involves burning biomass to create steam that drives turbines, which then generate electricity. While a renewable source, biomass energy has some disadvantages such as lower efficiency than fossil fuels and potential environmental impacts if not sustainably managed.
Global hunger is a serious issue while food waste is simultaneously filling landfills. Approximately 1 in 7 people worldwide are hungry while 1/3 of the world's food is wasted each year, amounting to $250 billion worth. An anaerobic digestion system utilizes organic waste from resort restaurants to generate biogas through microbial breakdown, which can then be used to produce electricity and heat on-site through a combined heat and power unit, with the remaining digestate used as fertilizer. Such systems provide multiple benefits including reduced carbon footprint, waste disposal costs, and fossil fuel usage while improving community relations.
Biomass Energy - Renewable Sources of Energy.Antonia Cornejo
Biomass is the oldest source of renewable energy and one of the most plentiful globally. It refers to biological material from living or recently living organisms that can be used as fuel. Biomass contains stored chemical energy from sunlight that plants absorbed, and this energy is released as heat when biomass is burned. Common sources of biomass include forestry and agricultural crops/residues, sewage, waste, and residues from animals and industry. Biomass can be used to generate electricity by burning it to produce steam that powers turbines, or to produce liquid biofuels or bioproducts. While biomass is a cheap and sustainable energy source, its use also faces challenges such as potential deforestation, pollution
Captive biomass energy plantations are proposed as a solution to issues with conventional biomass power plants in India. Planting fast-growing trees and grasses on wastelands could provide a low-cost, secure fuel source for biomass power plants. This would allow 24-hour renewable energy production and potentially replace thermal power plants. Large-scale biomass plantations could eliminate carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels by being carbon neutral, as well as reducing air pollution, creating jobs, and achieving energy security through domestic fuel sources. However, changing priorities would be needed to actualize this vision at a global scale.
This document discusses Philadelphia's approach to managing stormwater and reducing combined sewer overflows (CSOs) through green infrastructure initiatives. It advocates capturing the first inch of rainfall from one-third of the city's impervious surfaces over 20 years through projects like green streets, homes, schools, and more. This approach aims to continuously improve water quality while providing multiple economic, social and environmental benefits to the city in a more sustainable and cost-effective way than traditional gray infrastructure alone. There is also overwhelming public support for greening the city.

It then provides data on the ecological footprints of various countries and regions. Several graphics show trends of increasing global temperatures, rising sea levels, and effects on glaciers, coral reefs, and wildlife. The text discusses the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to address climate change and its economic and health impacts. It outlines California's goals to reduce emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 and 80% below 1990 levels by 2050.
This document discusses making urban districts climate positive using the example of Stockholm Royal Seaport (SRS). It outlines the climate positive process developed by Climate Positive Development Program and implemented in SRS, San Francisco, and Pedra Branca. The process establishes a baseline of emissions, tracks reductions and credits. SRS emissions were calculated based on data for residential buildings, though initial results did not achieve climate positive status. Roadmapping actions to reach this goal include energy efficiency, fuel switching, and behavioral changes. Credits may also be obtained through infrastructure and decisions reducing surrounding city emissions. The climate positive goal and transparency of this process allows comparisons and identifies solutions.

This document discusses the potential for urban farming to contribute to climate resilient and sustainable urban development in Bangladesh. It notes that cities are experiencing increased temperatures, carbon emissions, health burdens from climate change, and water shortages. Agricultural land is also being lost due to climate impacts like salinity intrusion, drought, flooding and erosion. This is driving increased rural-urban migration which is stressing fragile urban ecosystems. The document argues that urban farming can help cities adapt to and mitigate climate change by reducing CO2 from food transport, lowering temperatures, and conserving water, while providing economic, ecological and social benefits. It identifies a need for research, policies and planned urban farming approaches to realize these benefits.

Global water security faces several challenges:
- Freshwater resources are unevenly distributed and declining due to factors like climate change and population growth.
- Nearly 2 billion people lack access to clean drinking water and proper sanitation.
- Water demand exceeds sustainable limits in many regions due to increasing food and energy needs.
- Integrated water resource management and new hydroscience tools are needed to help close the gap between water supply and demand as part of efforts to achieve global water security.

ProKlim helps quantify local actions' benefits and contributions to national climate targets and reporting, while strengthening community participation and capacity.
Key messages of the IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 °C SR1.5 and...ipcc-media
The document summarizes key findings from the IPCC's Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C. It finds that limiting global warming to 1.5°C would require global CO2 emissions to fall by about 45% by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050. This would require rapid and unprecedented transitions across energy, land, urban and infrastructure, and industrial systems. Benefits of limiting warming to 1.5°C compared to 2°C include lower climate risks, lower impacts on health, ecosystems and economic growth. However, current country pledges are not sufficient and urgent action is needed across all sectors to accelerate transitions to low-carbon technologies and lifestyles.
This document discusses approaches to low emission and climate resilient development in the Middle East and North Africa region. It finds that the region is especially vulnerable to climate change due to water scarcity, agriculture dependence, and coastal population growth. Examples are given of how renewable energy and energy efficiency can both reduce emissions and increase resilience by improving water and energy security. Specifically, solar pumps in Jordan provide clean water while saving on fossil fuel costs, and energy efficient buildings in Morocco cut emissions and bills. The document argues for an integrated approach considering climate impacts across sectors and levels from national to local.

The document summarizes the ongoing groundwater contamination issue in Hinkley, California. Pacific Gas and Electric operated a compressor station that contaminated the local groundwater with chromium. This led to a major lawsuit and settlement. The contamination plume has since expanded and five options are being considered for cleaning it up. The options involve different combinations of extracting, treating, and containing the groundwater to reduce chromium levels. They involve tradeoffs between speed of cleanup, costs, and environmental impacts. A thorough analysis is needed to evaluate the social and health costs and benefits to determine the best approach.

This presentation discusses the 2000-Watt Site certification process, which provides standards and labels for sustainable infrastructure development sites. The certification is derived from existing energy management systems used by over 1000 municipalities in Europe, including the European Energy Award. It establishes quantitative energy and emissions targets during planning and operation of development sites. Certification requires the municipality be certified under the Energy City program and the site meet size and use criteria. Sites are evaluated on energy use, emissions, construction, mobility and management systems to achieve 2000-Watt Site certification. The developer in the example site seeks the certification to meet stakeholder expectations and position as a leader in sustainable construction.

Enabling Digital Sustainability by Jutta EcksteinJutta Eckstein
This is a New Zealand wide meetup event with meetup groups from Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch attending and open to anyone with an interest in digital sustainability or agile. All welcome. Joke, this is how it started. Jutta is now also available in Germany, i.e. hosted by Berlin/Brandenburg
According to the World Economic Forum, digital technologies can help reduce global carbon emissions by up to 15%. However, digitalization also comes with some challenges. Thus, if we want to make a positive impact by increasing sustainability, we need to address challenges like the digital divide, energy consumption of IT, or the rise of electronic waste. In this talk, I want to explore how Agile can help to leverage Digital Sustainability.

L'indice de performance des ports à conteneurs de l'année 2023SPATPortToamasina
Une évaluation comparable de la performance basée sur le temps d'escale des navires
L'objectif de l'ICPP est d'identifier les domaines d'amélioration qui peuvent en fin de compte bénéficier à toutes les parties concernées, des compagnies maritimes aux gouvernements nationaux en passant par les consommateurs. Il est conçu pour servir de point de référence aux principaux acteurs de l'économie mondiale, notamment les autorités et les opérateurs portuaires, les gouvernements nationaux, les organisations supranationales, les agences de développement, les divers intérêts maritimes et d'autres acteurs publics et privés du commerce, de la logistique et des services de la chaîne d'approvisionnement.
Le développement de l'ICPP repose sur le temps total passé par les porte-conteneurs dans les ports, de la manière expliquée dans les sections suivantes du rapport, et comme dans les itérations précédentes de l'ICPP. Cette quatrième itération utilise des données pour l'année civile complète 2023. Elle poursuit le changement introduit l'année dernière en n'incluant que les ports qui ont eu un minimum de 24 escales valides au cours de la période de 12 mois de l'étude. Le nombre de ports inclus dans l'ICPP 2023 est de 405.
Comme dans les éditions précédentes de l'ICPP, la production du classement fait appel à deux approches méthodologiques différentes : une approche administrative, ou technique, une méthodologie pragmatique reflétant les connaissances et le jugement des experts ; et une approche statistique, utilisant l'analyse factorielle (AF), ou plus précisément la factorisation matricielle. L'utilisation de ces deux approches vise à garantir que le classement des performances des ports à conteneurs reflète le plus fidèlement possible les performances réelles des ports, tout en étant statistiquement robuste.
