Energy generation, from biomass

Copersucar. GEF-Project BRA/96/G31 Energy Generation from Biomass, Sugarcane Bagasse and Residues . Reports (in Portuguese) published by CENBIO NOTICIAS, newsletter from The National Reference Center on Biomass, S5o Paulo, 1998,1999, and 2000. 

The U.S. Department of Energy has developed a strategic plan that delineates how electric power generation from biomass can be significantly increased in... 

One pound of dry plant material will generate approximately 7,500 Btu when burned directly. The amount of energy available from biomass is close to the heating value of average, uncleaned coal.

Renewable energy is energy generated from natural resources—such as sunlight, wind, water (hydro), ocean thermal, wave and tide action, biomass and geothermal heat—that are naturally replenished and thus renewable. Renewable energy resources are virtually inexhaustible— they are... 

In the United States about 3 percent of all electricity produced comes from renewable sources of this a little more than half comes from biomass. Most biomass energy generation comes from the lumber and paper industries from their conversion of mill residues to in-house energy. Municipal solid waste also is an important fuel for electricity production approximately 16 percent ot all municipal solid waste is disposed of by combustion. Converting industrial and municipal waste into bioenergy also decreases the necessity for landfdl space.

Coal used in power stations has the potential to be partly replaced by fuels derived from pre-treated plastics and paper waste, reducing both dependency on fossil fuels and reliance on landfill. APME reports on a project in the Netherlands which it co-sponsored to develop a substitute fuel from plastics. The environmental assessment of the project compared the environmental impacts of coal substitution with other plastics recovery methods, including gasification in feedstock recycling and energy recovery from plastics waste in cement kilns. The study also compared coal substitution with the generation of power from burning biomass. 

H2 serves as the alternative energy source relative to fossil fuels and biomass [181] because it is clean and environmentally friendly. Hence, catalytic hydrogen generation from water under mild conditions is one of the goals for the organometallic catalysis. One of the hopeful methods is the electrochemical reduction of protons by a hydrogenase mimic. 

Illustrates how hydrogen can be generated from a variety of primary energies, including hydrocarbons, coal, nuclear, wind, biomass, and solar... 

Renewable electricity (RES-E) Electricity generated from renewable non-fossil energy sources, i.e., wind, solar, geothermal, wave, tidal, hydropower, biomass, landfill gas, sewage treatment plant gas and biogas (this corresponds to the definition in Directive 2001/77/EC on renewables, Article 2).
