Indoor emissions from biomass combustion are considered to be likely carcinogenic The International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified indoor emissions from biomass and coal combustion as probably carcinogenic to humans. These emissions are a common source of pollution in the home, affecting an estimated 3 billion people worldwide. The International Lung Cancer Consortium […]
Biomass boilers are less efficient than fossil fuels in producing carbon dioxide or methane. They also don’t need planning permission and don’t smell. What’s not a good thing? Here are the top four reasons to switch biomass boilers. If you want lower carbon footprint, you should consider a biomass stove. Biomass boilers emit more CO2 […]
Biomass is an renewable resource that produces heat. It can then be converted into liquid fuels that are suitable for powering cars. Today’s cars are powered by petroleum and other non-renewable liquids. However, the depletion and accumulation of greenhouse gasses has driven the development sustainable transportation biofuels. Biomass is an alternative fuel to fossil fuels […]
There are many ways to make biomass. These include anaerobic digestion and thermal conversion. Each has its unique advantages and disadvantages. The best way to produce biomass depends on your needs and the resources available. We will be discussing some of the major options in the following article. Anaerobic digestion Anaerobic digestion is a process […]
The biomass boiler is a great choice for heating if there are no other fuel options. They heat year-round and are powered by natural resources, such as wood and miscanthus. Biomass boilers are environmentally friendly and have lower costs than oil or gas. However, there are some concerns to keep in mind. Miscanthus biomass boilers […]
Biomass boilers are green in many ways, including the use of wood waste from your business. They also produce ash, which is compostable and can be used in landscaping. They reduce your carbon footprint by using renewable energy. Learn more about these green heating options and how to install one for your home or business. […]
Biomass and biofuel are two terms used to refer to renewable sources of energy, or renewable fuels. Biomass has many uses and can be transformed into many chemicals or energy carriers. It has been used throughout history for cooking, electricity generation, heating and power generation. Biomass is an alternative energy source. Biomass is a renewable […]
Many have expressed concern about the use and regulation of biomass for energy production. Although the EPA has not yet issued a ruling on the matter, more than 60 scientists have sent letters to the agency to voice their concern. The controversy has come up in the spending bills for 2017 and 2018, and is […]
Biomass fuels can be considered carbon-neutral. They reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, but also emit large quantities of pollutants and depend on a limited supply. However, they are not renewable and the amount of biomass that can be used to produce them is not sustainable. This article will examine the facts about biomass fuels. Biomass […]
Geothermal energy is thermal energy stored in the Earth. Thermal energy is the energy that determines the temperature of matter. The Earth’s crust’s geothermal energy originates from the planet’s original formation and minerals’ radioactive decay. The geothermal gradient, the difference in temperature between the core of the planet and its surface, drives a continuous conduction […]
