BIOMASS

 

Biomass – A Sustainable Renewable Energy Source

 

Typical biomass fuels include a wide variety of materials. Some common fuels are forestry by-products, agricultural wastes, municipal wastes, landfill gas, and syngas. There are also many next generation biomass feedstocks in different stages of commercialization. These new fuels have the potential to dramatically scale market sizes, creating significant opportunities for additional power generation fleet.

 

Combusting biomass feedstock to create electricity does not contribute to global warming and helps avoid the release of other harmful emissions. Also, viable fuels are produced in many industries with no additional processing costs involved, further strengthening the financial feasibility of new plants on favorable sites.
