Biomass power is power obtained from the
energy in plants and plant-derived materials, such as food crops, grassy and woody plants, residues from agriculture or forestry, and the organic component of municipal and industrial wastes.
What's Biomass?
PROS
Renewable Reduce pollution Low cost Low carbon cleaner
than fossil fuels Widely available and
naturally distribute Reduces Landfill Protects clean water
Supplies
CONS
Wildlife Some fuels are
seasonal Not totally clean
when its burned Overall process can
be expensive
New technologies now being evaluated
include several types of biomass gasifiers in which biomass is heated to convert it into a gas. This gas is used directly in a gas turbine, which drives a generator (a simple gas turbine system.)
