TECHNOFIT INFORYOU: BIOMASS POWER PLANT

Biomass is made of material that comes from living organisms, such as plants and animals. The most common biomass materials used for energy are plants, wood, and waste. Biomass can be burned by thermal conversion and used for energy. Thermal conversion involves heating the biomass feedstock in order to burn, dehydrate, or stabilize it. Biomass is the only renewable energy source that can be converted into liquid biofuels that is used to power vehicles.

Biomass initial energy comes from the sun, and plants or algae biomass can regrow in a relatively short amount of time. Trees, crops, and municipal solid waste are consistently available and can be managed sustainably.
