Introduction to biomass and geothermal energies

Biomass (plant material) is a renewable energy source because the energy it contains comes from the sun. Through the process of photosynthesis, plants capture the sun s energy. When the plants are burned, they release the sun s 

Johnson and Linke-Heep (2007) have suggested that jute-based composites will be used in the biomass energy source, which is one of the younger technologies that have not progressed sufficiently for discussion therefore, this energy technique will not be discussed further. 

Even with the moderation of fossil fuel use and effeetive CO2 management, the path forward is still highly challenging and therefore to remain within the desirable levels of CO2 concentration in the atmosphere will become increasingly difficult. 

Chapter 20 will discuss the types of polymers and fibres and the manufacturing techniques which are used to produce the composites that are utilised in parts of the machines to develop renewable energy.
