Biomass: Alternative Energy Sources

910 Words4 Pages

Generally, biomass is any organic material which are derived from plants or animals. It is also including gases and liquids gained from the decomposition of non-fossilized and biodegradable organic materials. It is being formed from the interaction of organism and sunlight, which will give a potential energy. However, this process will not lead to the addition of total carbon dioxide inventory of the earth. Biomass is any organic materials that could be one of the promising renewable energy sources and could be utilized as solid, liquid and gas fuels (Uemura, Omar, Tsutsui, & Yusup, 2011). Biomass is constantly formed from the interaction of carbon dioxide gas, air, water, soil and also sunlight. It is also undergoing the process of photosynthesis. There are also several biomasses that are comes from botanical plant species or from animal waste or we called it as carcass. In fact, biomass had already become one of the most regularly used as a renewable sources of energy few decades ago. …show more content…

It is also having the relation with bio-fuel energy. Bio-fuel energy is from biofuels that is produced directly or indirectly from an inorganic material which is derived from plants and animals. Bio-fuel energy is the solar energy from the photosynthesis of plants process. Besides, biofuels may be derived from agricultural crops which is from certain energy crops and conventional food plants. It could be also obtained from the service-by-products and wastes. The sustainable of the availability of bio-fuel energy depends on the amount of energy that are derived from the growth of biomass that are being used for the production of food, clothes and also wood product. This biofuel could be in three different condition whether in solid, liquid or in gas
