About biomass & its potential:
Photosynthetic activity around the world is estimated to store 17 times more energy as compared to annual consumption of energy by all nations of the world. Taking into account the energy required for collection, processing, and conversion of Bio-mass into useful forms, the complete energy need of the world can be met by bio mass, if managed and used effectively and sustainably.
Bio-mass is renewable organic matter in the process of photosynthesis by plants. In this process solar energy is combined with CO2 and moisture to form carbohydrates and oxygen. Any material constituting of combustible organic matter is referred to as Bio-mass. C, H and O which are oxygenated hydrocarbons are present in Bio-mass. Bio-mass generally contains a high level of moisture and volatile matter but has a low bulk density and calorific value.
Biomass can be classified into two sources: woody and non-woody. Agro crops, agro industry processing residue, municipal solid waste, animal and poultry waste all fall under the biomass classification as they are biodegradable in nature.
