How long does it take for biomass to form?

A couple million years.


What is biomass and what can it do?

Biomass is effectively dried up tissue mass. If you take a living thing and dried it out you would have its biomass. From that you can see how much energy store there is.


How can biomass help to reduce global warming?

biomass energy can be turned into fuel instead of oil or gas. the government is looking for alternative fuel instead of oil or gas and biomass could take its place.


How long does biomass take to be made into an oil?

How long does it take geothermal energy to form?

Millions of years. The geothermal energy is gradually recharged by the decay of radioactive isotopes.


How is biomass generated?

Biomass is generated by plant life. Plants take carbon dioxide out of the air and combine this with water using the energy they captured from sunlight to make sugars.


How long energy sun take to get to earth?

Energy, in the form of radiation, takes about 8 minutes to reach from the surface of Sun to the surface of Earth.


Is biomass energy considered renewable or nonrenewable?

The term biomass is not a new term. The context of if it is a "renewable" sourse of fuel however is.Biomass does not take 1,000,000 years to make. All other references as to age, ammount it burns is completely irrelivant. The term biomass is only relivant to the fact that biomass is a particular plant or living animal IN a biome. Trees in a biome are biomass. The size of a tree is also irrelivant.Deforestation is a way of burning biomass. it is not a sustainable way because it removes trees faster than they can grow.This is the old term of biomass:"Total mass of living organisms present in a given area. It may be used to describe the mass of a particular species (such as earthworm biomass), for a general category (such as herbivore biomass - animals that eat plants), or for everything in a habitat."This is the new context."Plant biomass can be changed into liquid or gaseous fuels to generate electricity or heat, or to fuel internal combustion engines. Fuel from biomass is burned in a reactor to generate heat energy, which is then converted into mechanical energy to turn turbine blades in a generator to produce electricity. Biomass power stations of 80 megawatts can produce electricity to power approximately 42,000 homes."Therefore biomass IS a form of renewable fuel. Biomass CAN be a SUSTAINABLE form of fuel when it is gathered and utalized efficiantly. This is why several large steps in making bio fuels have been made in the past few years.Please adress any changes WITHIN DISCUSSION.Sources:Degree in environmental Studiesbiomass. (2010).

How long does it take for energy released by sun to reach earth?

That would depend on which type and form of energy you are referring to. Light energy takes about 8 minutes to reach Earth from the Sun.


How is food digested in plants?

Plants do not digest food, as they generally do not take in food as such: as a general rule, they take in nutrients from the Earth as well as sunlight and water, and use these to produce energy, as opposed to taking energy from consumed biomass as animals do.
