3. Introduction
⌘Several countries have adopted ambitious plan to obtain
their power from renewable energy.
⌘Many people, the most familiar forms of renewable
energy are the wind and the sun. But , Biomass (plant
material and animal waste) is the oldest source of
renewable energy, used since our ancestors learned the
secret of fire.
⌘Biomass is one of the most plentiful resources available
globally, and demand for it, is likely to increase
substantially as the world looks to wean its dependence
from fossil fuels and on-going commitments to reducing
greenhouse gases and emissions.

4. Biomass and Process
Ꙛ Biomass is the biological material derived from living, or recently
living organisms. It is known as ‘natural material’. Biomass contains
stored energy, in the form of chemical energy - that’s because plants
absorb energy from the sun through the process of photosynthesis - as
the plants died, the energy is trapped in the residue, so when biomass is
burned, this stored energy is released as heat.
Ꙛ In biomass, power plants, wood waste or other waste are burned to
produce steam that runs a turbine to make electricity, or that provides
heat to industries and homes. Fortunately, new technologies - including
pollution controls and combustion engineering - have advanced to the
point that any emissions from burning biomass in industrial facilities are
generally less than emissions produced when using fossil fuels (coal,
natural gas, oil).

6. Sources of Biomass
ꙚAnimal residues
ꙚIndustrial Residues
Ꙛ Forestry crops and
residues
ꙚAgricultural crops and
residues
ꙚSewage
ꙚMunicipal solid waste

9. Applications of Biomass
Ꙛ BIOFULES
Converting biomass into liquid fuels for transportation. The two most
common types of biofuels are ethanol and biodiesel.
Ꙛ BIOPOWER
Burning biomass directly, or converting it into a gaseous fuel or oil, to
generate electricity. Types of biopower systems: direct-
fired,cofiring, gasification, anaerobic digestion, pyrolysis, and small
modular.
ꙚBIOPRODUCTS
Converting biomass into chemicals for making products that typically
are made from petroleum.

∀ Can be Used to Create Added value
∀ Can be Used to Create Different Products
Disadvantages
∀ Investment levels
∀ Larger property/ land side & location
∀ Efficiency
∀ Air pollution
∀ Seasonality

16. Conclusion
₺ The use of biomass as an energy resource is sure to become more
prominent in our world as we transition away from fossil fuels.
₺ However, the advantages and disadvantages, and therefore, the
sustainability, of biomass energy are largely dependent upon which type of
biomass is being utilized.
₺ The biomass feedstock's that we choose to rely upon should not compete
with food production, should work in concert with the restoration of forests
and other natural ecosystems, and should not place an unsustainable demand
on natural resources.
