Biomass is the process of burning. Its when you use wood scraps found then bring them to a biomass plant. Then they are loaded in to huge hoppers (machines that break down and shred waste). This is then put in a furnish where they burn and the heat is used to boil water. They use the energy in the steam to turn turbines and generators.

some interesting facts are...

—You can get it any where because of the natural resource it comes from (scraps and dead trees)

—Everything that can decompose can be used as biomass energy

—The fossil fuel power plants can easily be converted from fossil fuels to biomass

—Biomass can either be used directly, in other ways of creating energy.

What are the disadvantages of biomass power stations?

Some disadvantages of biomass power stations include emissions of greenhouse gases and air pollutants during the burning process, the potential competition with food crops for biomass sources, and the requirement for large land areas to grow biomass crops. Additionally, biomass power generation can sometimes be more expensive than fossil fuels or other renewable energy sources.


What device is used to convert biomass?

A biomass converter, also known as a biomass boiler or biomass power plant, is typically used to convert biomass into electricity, heat, or biofuels through processes such as combustion, gasification, or anaerobic digestion.


How many watts of energy does biomass produce?

The amount of energy produced by biomass can vary depending on the type of biomass and the conversion technology used. On average, biomass energy production can range from 1 to 10 watts per gram of biomass.


What is the difference between traditional and modern biomass?

Traditional biomass has not been laying around for millions of years, such as the traditional biomass has been. Traditional biomass, also called fossil fuels, are being rapidly depleted. Modern biomass provides a viable alternative.


Where is biomass still a major source of energy?

Biomass is still a major source of energy in many developing countries, particularly in rural areas where access to modern energy sources is limited. In countries like India, China, and parts of Africa, biomass is used for cooking, heating, and other energy needs. Additionally, some developed countries, such as Sweden and Finland, utilize biomass for electricity generation and district heating.
