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.

What is the difference between biomass energy and wind energy?

Both biomass and wind energy are natural sources of energy. Their differences are that biomass energy comes from waste materials whiles wind energy comes from the wind. Before energy can be produced from biomass, decomposition by micro-organisms must occur to produce biogas (energy), while for wind energy, the speed of the wind (energy of the wind) causes some turbine-like device to change mechanical energy to other forms of energy. Energy from biomass can also be obtained by burning 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.

How much does it cost to build and run a biomass energy plant?

Biomass energy comes from plants - such as wood waste, corn kernels or non food energy crops which are generally used to make liquid fuels, heat or electricity. The cost of energy produced from biomass always depends on the type of biomass that is being utilized, the type of energy being produced (heat, electricity or fuel), the technology used and the size of the plant. Power plants that can burn biomass directly can generate electricity at a cost of 7 to 9 cents per kilowatt-hour.
