Does biomass need solar energy to run?
No, biomass typically produces energy through incineration which does not require solar energy.
2 reasons why biomass energy is not good energy source?
One reason why biomass energy is not a good energy source is that a large amount of land is need to create enough electricity to make biomass efficient. Another reason is that it can consume more fuel.
How much land does a biomass power plant need?
59% of land is needes
Why is biomass the best energy source?
Why is biomass the best source of energy? Biomass is the best energy source because it is renewable, natural and clean energy. Consuming fossil fuels is actually releasing energy harvested by plants and animals that came from the sun many years ago. This energy is a pollutant because it is in excess of what the sun would naturally add to the environment. It is the rapid rate of release of this "old" energy that is the biggest contributor to the current global warming problem. Harvesting biomass energy prevents greenhouse gas emissions, and it does not add to the energy already put into the atmosphere from the sun. Biomass grown in one production period is the result of harvesting nutrients, water and the available energy for the plant. Each species of plant, and each variety of any plant, has a different capacity for harvesting sunlight energy. Energy harvested by biomass is renewable and can be grown again in each growing season. When biomass is decomposed it releases energy in the form of methane gas into the environment. Essentially, the gas released from any biomass can contribute to global warming. The biomass energy is produced, and contained can be used to produce electricity, or heat. When this heat or electricity can used in an environmentally responsible manner. Fewer greenhouse gases are released into the environment, and the energy can be available for multiple uses. This energy replaces the need for fossil fuel. Harvested biomass energy is considered a clean energy because the harvested energy does not result in releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. It is also "clean" because the energy available is no more energy than the energy the sun naturally provided to that area where the plants were grown. The release of energy from biomass does not add to the energy provided naturally by the sun. The release of this energy could not be more natural. When grown in a sustainable manner the result of harvesting biomass energy is a carbon neural energy source that can be grown again and again, and not add to the carbon load of the atmosphere.
What are some drawbacks of the wind energy?
Are expensive to make Need lot of space to plant windmills. Very reliant on the wind - no wind no energy.
What is the point of biomass?
It is a potential source of energy that is readily available where there are people who need it.
Who are the major emerging producers of Biomass energy?
Biomass energy comes from a number of different sources. The main source of biomass is essentially the paper-manufacturing industry as the pulping liquor from the processes used to make paper contribute largely to the growing amount of biomass.In terms of the energy sources themselves, it would be best to refer to Wikipedia's article on biomass: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomass#Biomass_sources. The section on Biomass Sources should provide all the information you need.
Why does a plant need to plant glucose's?
To obtain its energy.
What is a negative for biomass?
there is not a thing negtive about biomass we need to save biomass it!
What is one difference between biomass energy and energy and wind energy?
== == Biomass shows us the total dry weight of the organisms in the trophic level.. example: 100,000 kg of plants (and by this we don't mean that one plant weighs 100,000 kg we mean that the total no. of plants that are eaten by grasshoppers weigh 100,000 kg )are eaten by 10,000 grasshoppers which are eaten by 100 kg birds which area eaten by a 3 kg snake.. Now on the other hand.. an energy pyramid shows us the energy flow in an enviroment, producers will always have the most energy followed by first degree consumers ( herbivores ) and then secondary consumers ( carnivores ).... Hope i Helped those in need :P...... nice topic thnx for bringing the question up Peace out :D..
Are organic compounds that are a key source of energy.?
The organic compounds that are a key source of energy are carbohydrates. Examples of carbohydrates are pasta, bread, rice and cereals.
What energy does a plant need or have?
Solar energy converted in to chemical energy by photosynthesis
