- 1. BIOMASS Renewable energy from plants and animals 1 • Biomass is a renewable energy source and can be anything from energy crops to agricultural or forestry residues and biogenic waste. • Biomass can be used to produce both heat and electricity. • It plays a key role in reducing CO2 emissions from existing coal power plants by co-firing and producing green heat.
- 2. Converting Biomass to Energy 2 • Biogas forms when paper, food scraps, and yard waste decompose in landfills, and it can be produced by processing sewage and animal manure in special vessels called digesters. • Ethanol is made from crops such as corn and sugar cane that are fermented to produce fuel ethanol for use in vehicles. • Biodiesel is produced from vegetable oils and animal fats and can be used in vehicles and as heating oil.
- 3. BIOMASS ENERGY 3 • Biomass energy refers to any energy produced from recently living organic matter like plants or animals. • Biomass energy is a renewable resource because plants can be regrown relatively quickly, and they grow using renewable energy from the sun. • Fuels like ethanol and biodiesel also come from biomass.
- 4. Advantages of Biomass Energy 4 Biomass is clean energy source Minimizes the possibility of fill up of landfills Another great benefit of biomass energy is that it converts harmful wastes into useful energy. Biomass emissions are not harmful Biomass energy is totally natural and doesn’t present any side effects when used.
- 5. Advantages of Biomass Energy 5 Biomass emissions are not harmful It’s a renewable resource and bountiful in supply Fossil fuels are non-renewable forms of energy that take years to produce. Biomass energy dials back on fossil fuel dependence It’s versatile
- 6. Disadvantages of Biomass Energy 6 It’s comparatively inefficient to fossil fuel Ethanol, which is a biodiesel, is inefficient against gasoline. To add to that, it is commonly blended with gasoline in order to function properly. Combustion of biomass require a lot of space Burning of biomass products require a big amount of land for ease and convenience of burning.
- 7. Disadvantages of Biomass Energy 7 Leads to environmental degradation Collecting the needed amount of biomass leads to huge changes in an area’s topography and interfere with natural habitats of most plants and animals. May be harmful to Mother Nature Utilizing human and animal waste may save a lot regarding carbon dioxide emissions, but methane gas would increase significantly, which could impact the earth’s ozone layer.
- 8. 8 • Bioenergy uses biomass to create fuel. • Examples of biomass include wood waste, bagasse (sugar cane residues), and animal fats. This waste is processed in different ways to create energy. • One method includes directly burning the biomass to release energy in the form of heat which can be used to generate electricity. There’s also chemical conversion. Biomass Energy Conversion
- 9. 9 • The direct combustion of biomass in presence of oxygen/air to produce heat and by products is called direct combustion. • This heat energy in the product gases or in the form of steam can be used for various applications like space heating or cooling, power generation, process heating in industries or any other application. Direct Combustion
- 10. 10 • The thermo chemical reaction can convert the organic biomass into more valuable and convenient form of products as gaseous and liquid fuels,residue and by- products etc. Thermochemical Conversion Pyrolysis Gasification
- 11. 11 • Biochemical conversion of biomass involves use of bacteria, microorganisms and enzymes to breakdown biomass into gaseous or liquid fuels, such as biogas or bioethanol. • The most popular biochemical technologies anaerobic digestion (biomethanation) fermentation (aerobic digestion) Biochemical Conversion
- 12. 12 • Anaerobic digestion is a series of chemical reactions during which organic material is decomposed through the metabolic pathways of naturally occurring microorganisms in an oxygen depleted environment. Anaerobic digestion
- 13. 13 • It involves the conversion of sugar rich biomass plants into alcohol through the addition of bacteria, yeasts and enzymes. • The same process is further extended to include distillation to obtain Ethanol (ethyl alcohol). Ethanol is used as a green substitute for gasoline or as a fuel enhancer. • Ethanol Fermentation
- 14. 14 • Biodiesel can be sourced from plants like soybeans, rapeseed, palm, corn, sunflower and animal fats like tallow, poultry fats and fish oils and even used cooking oils from restaurants. • Biodiesel is widely produced and consumed in the European Union as a substitute for petrol and diesel.
