Biomass: Famous For Using and Under Research?

This document discusses biomass energy, including its definition, common sources like wood and crop residues, how it works by burning biomass materials, and its advantages of being renewable and reusing waste. However, it also notes biomass energy has disadvantages like air pollution from burning, requiring energy to collect and transport biomass, and potentially reducing soil nutrients if too many crop residues or wood is removed. It can also increase food and material prices and requires large areas for biomass growth. The limitations include needing advanced technology or catalysts, and producing waste during biomass fuel production.

Biomass

• What is biomass energy?


• Which biomass energy source are the most
famous for using and under research?
• How does it work?
• What is the advantages and the
disadvantages of biomass energy?
• What is the limitations of biomass energy?
• How is it affecting the environment
negatively?
What is the use of
biomass energy?
• For producing heat • For producing
energy electricity
• Anything from the • Using method is same
nature which can burn as oil. Burn it and get
to heat. energy either for a
• E.g. charcoal, wood, state or a house.
Mustard oil • E.g. wood, crop
residues, Mustard oil
The various and famous
examples for biomass
• Crop residues : burn it in incinerator to produce
energy.
• Burning woods : burning woods in order to
produce electricity or heat energy.
• Mustard oil : used like oil for electricity or diesel
The advantages for
biomass energy
• Most of them are renewable, e.g., wood,
mustard oil and crop residues.
• Solve energy crisis in the future.
• Some of them are re-using the waste,
e.g.,crop residues, sewage.
• High energy efficiency.
• Generally it does not pollute the atmosphere
as much as oil and coal.
The disadvantages of
the using of biomass energy (1)
• More serious air pollution was found when
burning plants matters, e.g., CO2, CO, solid
particulate matter.
• Emission more carcinogens into the air.
• Emission some toxic gases and ash.
The disadvantages of
the using of biomas energy (2)
• It takes too much energy to collect, dry and
transport the residues to power plants.
• Reduce soil nutrient replenishment.
• The source of biomass can use fertilize soil,
e.g., crop residues and animal manure.
Cutting too many woods is a kind of
deforestation can cause, soil erosion and
natural disasters
The disadvantages of
the using of biomas energy (3)
• Raising the price of food, wood and wood
products indirectly.
• It uses large area to grow biomass.
The limitations for
using biomass energy
• Either high technological level or catalytic
combustion is needed.
• Large area is needed to grow plants for
biomass energy use.
• When producing biomass fuel, large amount
of waste will also produced.
The environmental problems
are caused by biomass energy (2)
• The source of biomass
can use fertilize soil,
e.g., crop residues and
animal manure.
• Cutting too many
woods is a kind of
deforestation can
cause, soil erosion and
natural disasters
