Which pair of resources is renewable?
Solar, water, wind, biomass, etc are the pair of resources that are renewable.
Wood leaves and manure belong to a group of renewable energy sources called what?
The term Biomass refers to biological material, usually plant-derived materials. Biomass is a generic term however and can refer to any material that was of biological origin. One normally requires that the material retain the basic organic make up of the living organism, this coal is not considered biomass but dead plants are biomass. Coal has been substantially changed chemically since it was biomass millions of years ago. Manure can be considered biomass since it can retain a large portion of the original chemical makeup of the plants which were the original source. Biomass is relevant to renewable energy because it sometimes contains a substantial amount of chemical energy that was present in the original biological organism. When you burn a log, you get energy from biomass. Many forms of biomass are not useful as a potential source of energy. Bacteria and fungi constitute a large fraction of the currently living biomass on Earth and there is no practical plan to collect it for use as biofuel, but that is an active area of research.
List six forms of renewable energy?
Renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass and biofuel).
How can biomass be converted into electrical energy?
Biomass, which usually means recently dead plant material, is considered a renewable energy source, as it can be continually grown, removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air, and then releasing the same amount when it is burnt.It is used in electricity power plants just like coal, to generate electricity. The heat produced by burning biomass drives electro-mechanical generators which produce electricity.Coal is a non-renewable fossil fuel, made from the same dead plant material, but millions of years ago.A:The term "biomass" encompasses diverse fuels derived from timber, agriculture and food processing wastes or from fuel crops that are specifically grown or reserved for electricity generation. Biomass fuel can also include sewage sludge and animal manure. Some biomass fuels are derived from trees. Given the capacity of trees to regenerate, these fuels are considered renewable. Burning crop residues, sewage or manure - all wastes that are continually generated by society -- to generate electricity may offer environmental benefits in the form of preserving precious landfill space ORmay be grown and harvested in ways that cause environmental harm.
What are some renewable sources of energy besides solar wind and water?
Renewable energy, not solar, wind, or water (hydro, tidal and wave) includes geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, biofuel and hydrogen.
Why is biomass considered renewable resource?
Biomass is a renewable energy source because we can always grow more trees and crops, and waste will always exist.
When would biomass not be considered a renewable?
When you build houses and roads over where the biomass grew. When the biomass takes longer than a human lifetime to regenerate. When the biomass culture destroys the ecosystem. ================= Thus in terms of fuel to power humanity it is clear that biomass in NOT a renewable resource.
Is biomass renewable nonrenewable or nearly perpetual?
biomass is renewable
When would biomass not be considered renewable resource?
When you build houses and roads over where the biomass grew. When the biomass takes longer than a human lifetime to regenerate. When the biomass culture destroys the ecosystem. ================= Thus in terms of fuel to power humanity it is clear that biomass in NOT a renewable resource.
Is biomass considered nonrenewable?
No, Biomass is a renewable energy source. Bio mass is RENEWABLE. The duration and efficiency of renewal is relative to the bio mass source. Algae is the ideal renewable bio mass when equated per time
Why is biomass a better?
Biomass is a renewable resource.
Is biomass nonrenewable?
Biomass is a renewable resource.
Why is a biomass alternative to oil?
Biomass is a renewable resource.
Why is biomass a better alternative?
Biomass is a renewable resource.
Why do you use biomass?
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.
Is biomass better than nuclear?
YES......For obvious reasons=biomass is renewable!=
Is fecal material a biomass or fossil fuel?
Fecal material is a biomass and is renewable.
