Session on Biomass Biofuel Biogas and Biomass
Biomass Biofuel Biogas and Biomass is a type of fuel that is derived from biomass within a short period of time, as opposed to the slow natural processes involved in the formation of fossil fuels like oil. It can be produced from various sources such as plants, agricultural waste, domestic waste, or industrial biowaste. While biofuels are primarily used for transportation, they can also be utilized for heating and electricity generation. As a renewable energy source, biofuels, along with bioenergy in general, are considered environmentally sustainable. However, the use of biofuel has faced criticism due to concerns surrounding the “food vs fuel” debate, varying assessments of its sustainability, and potential negative impacts on deforestation and biodiversity resulting from biofuel production.
In the context of energy production, biomass refers to the matter derived from recently living organisms that is utilized for bioenergy production. This includes materials like wood, wood residues, energy crops, agricultural residues (such as straw), and organic waste from both industry and households. Currently, wood and wood residues serve as the largest source of biomass energy. Wood can be directly used as fuel or processed into pellet fuel or other forms of fuels. Additionally, other plants like maize, switchgrass, miscanthus, and bamboo can also be utilized as fuel sources. The main types of waste feedstocks used for bioenergy production include wood waste, agricultural waste, municipal solid waste, and manufacturing waste. The conversion of raw biomass into higher-grade fuels can be achieved through various methods, broadly categorized as thermal, chemical, or biochemical processes.
