| Biomass
is organic material made from plants and animals. Biomass
contains stored energy from the sun. Plants absorb the
sun's energy in a process called photosynthesis. The chemical
energy in plants gets passed on to animals and people that eat
them. Biomass is a renewable energy source because we can
always grow more trees and crops, and waste will always exist.
Some examples of biomass fuels are wood, crops, manure, and
some garbage. Biomass
energy is an alternative energy source that has gained in
popularity over the last ten years. So, what is biomass
energy?
Biomass Energy
To
understand biomass energy, one first has to have a grasp of
biomass. Biomass is any sort of vegetation - trees, grasses,
plant parts such as leaves, stems and twigs, and ocean plants.
From it, one can extract a wealth of stored energy.
During
photosynthesis, plants combine carbon dioxide from the air and
water from the ground to form carbohydrates, which form the
building blocks of biomass. The solar energy that drives
photosynthesis is stored in the chemical bonds of the
structural components of biomass. While the actual ratio of
components varies among species, biomass averages 75%
carbohydrates or sugars and 25% lignin.
Chem-Energy
Corporation has been involved in Bio Mass Energy since
2004 since there is great need for such energy especially in
third world countries where the availability of foreign
exchange is limited. Chem-Energy can develop and install Bio
Energy projects at a very reasonable costs and can also
arrange the financing for such projects.
