Biomass:
A renewable energy par excellence, is the oldest sources, of power used by humans.
Is still the basic energy source for some 1.6 billion humans who do not have access to electricity.
Biomass include: dead trees, tree branches, yard clippings, left-over crops, wood chips, bark & sawdust from lumber mills, grasses and manure.
can be used to produce electricity, heat or fuel for transportation.
has a calorific value, roughly equivalent to one-third of that of fossil fuels.
Biomass is relatively evenly distributed over the surface of the globe
Efficiency of biomass
The electrical efficiency rating of transforming biomass into electrical energy is around 30% for 10 to 20 MW capacity plants.
This efficiency rating is representative of the latest technologies for solid biofuels used in plants of this size.
Application In Pakistan
A Bio Gas Power Plant is establishing in Jhang.
Biomass technology can be used any where in Pakistan where we can get animal wastes easily. Mostly Rural areas in Punjab and Sindh will be the suitable places for biomass renewable energy.
