Biomass Renewable Energy

The words biomass and renewable energy would seem like entirely different ones without any sort of relation between them. Just imagine – the organic waste materials generated as a result of decayed plant waste on side and renewable energy on the other? But the fact is biomass is a large reservoir of solar energy trapped within it as a result of photosynthetic activities in plants, which if tapped out in the right way, can be a natural source of energy.

Renewable energy, as the term suggests, is the energy derived from natural sources like sun, water, organic waste, wind, tides etc which can be replenished by nature. Such energy sources can never get exhausted at any point in time as in the case or non renewable energy sources like fossil fuels.

Apart from plant wastes, other sources of biomass include wood shavings, algae, aquatic plants and residues, cow dung, disposable garbage, sewage wastes, corncobs etc. For it to be used as an energy source, biomass must be converted to energy so that so that it can meet a sizeable percentage of the country’s demand for fuel. » Read more: Biomass Renewable Energy – The Sun’s Energy in Organic Form
