Biomass Forum

Biomass refers to living and recently dead biological material that can be used as fuel or for industrial production. Most commonly, biomass refers to plant matter grown for use as biofuel, but it also includes plant or animal matter used for production of fibres, chemicals or heat. Biomass may also include biodegradable wastes that can be burnt as fuel. It excludes organic material which has been transformed by geological processes into substances such as coal or petroleum.

Biodiesel Future Energy	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. When burned, the chemical energy in biomass is released as heat. If you have a fireplace, the wood you burn in it is a biomass fuel. Wood waste or garbage can be burned to produce steam for making electricity, or to provide heat to industries and homes. Burning biomass is not the only way to release its energy. Biomass can be converted to other usable forms of energy like methane gas or transportation fuels like ethanol and biodiesel. Methane gas is the main ingredient of natural gas. Smelly stuff, like rotting garbage, and agricultural and human waste, release methane gas - also called "landfill gas" or "biogas." Crops like corn and sugar cane can be fermented to produce the biofuel, transportation fuel, ethanol. Biodiesel, another transportation fuel, can be produced from left-over food products like vegetable oils and animal fats. Biomass fuels provide about 3 percent of the energy used in the United States. People in the USA are trying to develop ways to burn more biomass and less fossil fuels. Using biomass for energy can cut back on waste and support agricultural products grown in the United States. Biomass fuels also have a number of environmental benefits.

Re: [renewable-energy] Lab makes renewable diesel fuel from E. coli poop

VERY interesting! I have some friends of mine from Germany here who make Bio-Diesel. They might like a copy of this article!

Thanks!

[renewable-energy] Wind speed question

I have wind log data for 10 feet above ground and I am trying to get a
guess for what wind speed would be at higher elevations (tower height).
We have no obstructions for quite some distance. How are those
calculations made? Any place I can get good information on that?
Thanks.

[renewable-energy] Ground Source Heat Pump

I have been reading communications between everyone in this
group for about 8 months and so far have not written, until now.

We are considering having a ground source Heat pump installed
for our home. We read and read how good they are, even a lot better than an
air source heat pump but we are interested in hearing from some people out
there that have one or have had experience with one. We just need a little
practical information on the subject, both pro's and con's.

Thank you

Janet and Bruce Leckemby
