Biomass Fuels Energy
www.wesrch.com
Biomass fuels are organic materials produced in a
renewable manner. The low energy density means
that the costs of fuel collection and transportation
can quickly outweigh the value of the fuel. There
are two primary factors to be considered in the
evaluation of biomass fuels: Fuel supply, including
the total quantities available, the stability of the
supply or of the industry generating the fuel, and
competitive uses or markets for the fuel.
Types Of BioFuel Energy
Dedicated Biomass Crops
Dedicated biomass crops are grown specifically to fuel a
biomass project. The most prevalent example of dedicated
biomass crops are corn varieties grown for ethanol
production.
Fuel Chemical Recovery
Chemical recovery fuels are responsible for over 60 percent
of the total biomass energy consumption of the United
States, and therefore must be mentioned in any analysis of
biomass.
Animal Waste
Animal wastes include manures, renderings, and other
wastes from livestock finishing operations.
Urban Wood & Yard Waste
Urban wood and yard wastes are similar in nature to
agricultural residues in many regards. A biomass facility will
rarely need to purchase urban wood and yard wastes, and
most likely can charge a tipping fee to accept the fuel.
Agricultural Remains
Agricultural residues can provide a substantial amount of
biomass fuel.
Mill Residues
Mill residues are a much more economically attractive fuel
than forestry residues, since the in-forest collection and
chipping are already included as part of the commercial mill
operations.
Forestry Residues
Forestry residues have been the focus of many recent
biomass studies and feasibility assessments due to
increasing forest management and wildfire prevention
activities under the National Fire Plan.
Woody Fuels
Wood wastes of all types make excellent biomass fuels &
can be used in a wide variety of biomass technologies.
