Why biomass is important




















This garbage could be used for valorisation and produced energy, bioferilizers and other products. Biomass is widely available source of energy. Biomass is widely available energy source. The sources are from agriculture, forestry,fisheries, aquaculture, algae and waste.

Many energy experts agree that when you combine economic and environmental character of energy sources biomass is on top of the list as one of the best energy sources. GHG emission balances for biomass-fuelled electricity and heat applications GHG balances for a wide range of technologies to produce electricity and heat were prepared by Elsayed, Matthews and Mortimer System boundaries encompassed the entire chain from fuel production to end-use.

Thus, the span of the environmental benefit is wide, and the effective value will depend on the particular application situation technology, scale etc. The total GHG emissions from contaminated biomass fuels non-tradables are set at 0, since these fuels are available anyway. There existence cannot be avoided, and all GHG emissions associated with their production should be allocated to the products from which they are the unavoidable result.

Drax is the largest biomass plant in the UK, having converted three of its six generators from coal — but it has come in for serious criticism. The more important questions are where exactly the fuel is coming from, how it is being produced and transported, and how much carbon is being emitted along the way.

At Drax, they need to demonstrate that all their fuel is coming from a sustainable source, and that associated carbon emissions are relatively small, in order to qualify for the premium prices that renewable electricity can attract. One particularly attractive option is to use waste wood and by-products, and avoid the transport and other impacts of dealing with the waste in other ways. In the UK, waste wood usage is up , and exports have dropped to meet rising domestic demand.

Power plants fuelled by waste wood at Tyseley in Birmingham and Welland Bio Power in Northamptonshire have helped further this trend, with more on the way. For interested householders, the Renewable Heat Incentive is available to support the installation of biomass boilers and pellet stoves with integrated boilers offering rates of 6. Analysing whole supply chains and taking a long-term view will be crucial in ensuring that biomass is as sustainable option as possible.
