What is Biomass Energy?
By admin, July 15, 2009, Energy Efficiency, Green, News
Biomass is material that is derived from recently living organisms including animals, plants, landfill waste, and cow manure. Biomass energy is used to produce power, heat & steam and fuel through different processes. The production uses large boilers to burn the matter, to produce chemical energy that creates both heat and steam which turns the turbine. Although biomass is a renewable energy since it involves a burning process it produces harmful emissions such as sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and carbon dioxide. However the scale of emissions produce through biomass burning is far less than those emitted through coal plants.
