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
