Corn A biomass power station makes electricity from biomass fuel. Bio- means biological, as in living things. Biomass fuels are everywhere. Waste wood, walnut shells, landfill gasses, crops grown specifically for fuel, animal wastes, the list goes on and on. Examples would be a plant that burns waste wood chips to power a boiler that runs a steam turbine-generator, or methane gas from decaying matter in a landfill used to run a gas-turbine generator. Biofuels are also sometimes co-fired with coal to lower the emissions of a coal-fired plant.
The waste wood, tree branches and other scraps are gathered together bigtrucks. The trucks bring the waste from factories and from farms to a biomass power plant. Here the biomass is dumped into huge hoppers. This is then fed into a furnace where it is burned. The heat is used to boil water in theboiler, and the energy in the steam is used to turn turbines and generators

Cruachan Power Station is a storage hydro-electric power station whereas a Normal Hydroelectric power station is produced and then used, no storage needed.
In order for a hydroelectic power station to function, the station will need a large supply of water. The station will also require large generators with turbines in order to create power from the pressure of the water.
No
biomass is produced in different ways
Biomass is any vegetation that will burn to produce electricity in a power station.
well you can get pretty good ones from the pound shop xx
Yes. Biomass is usually vegetation or trash. It is burnt in an ordinary power station to generate electricity, but without contributing to global warming.
Yes, you burn biomass to generate electricity, the same as a fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas) power station, except without causing global warming.
Yes, you have to grow the plants, or collect the garbage, and there are maintenance costs for the power station, which can be the same as a fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas) power station, but without causing global warming.
From a Power Station point of view: It can lower the efficiency of boilers when it is used by plants which mix it with other combustible materials. Eg: A coal fired power station can only mix a very limited amount of biomass with the coal to run the boilers efficiently. It requires a large space to be stored correctly. Biomass gets wet very easily and holds moisture. This may mean it has to be disposed of or dried out before it can be used, which requires extra plant and energy to run. Some hardwoods used in biomass can, in very rare cases, cause cancer. When the biomass is turned into woodchip, the dust is easily inhaled.

we use biomass to create electricity or power that is renewable. examples of renewable energy resources are wind ,solar power,biomass,sun and lots more.
Biomass power is power that comes from plants. Biofuel, as the source of biomass power is called, costs about $5,000 a ton. Crops used as biofuel are mainly corn, soy, and sometimes wood.
