Biomass is renewable organic material that comes from plants and animals. Biomass can be burned directly for heat or converted to liquid and gaseous fuels through various processes. Biomass was the largest source of total annual …
DetailsUsing biomass and biofuels made from biomass has positive and negative effects on the environment. One benefit is that biomass and biofuels are alternative energy sources to fossil fuels. Burning fossil fuels and biomass releases carbon dioxide (CO 2), a greenhouse gas.
DetailsThe term biofuels usually applies to liquid fuels and blending components produced from biomass materials called feedstocks. Biofuels may also include methane produced from landfill gas and biogas and hydrogen produced from renewable resources.
DetailsEthanol is made from biomass. Fuel ethanol is anhydrous, denatured alcohol that meets the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard specification D4806 for ethanol use in spark-ignition engines.
DetailsRenewable diesel and other (non-fuel ethanol) biofuels and biointermediates can be produced from nearly any biomass feedstock, including those used for biodiesel production, through a variety of processes, such as: Hydrotreating; Gasification; Pyrolysis; Other biochemical and thermochemical technologies
DetailsBiogas, which may be called renewable natural gas (RNG) or biomethane, is an energy-rich gas produced by anaerobic decomposition or thermochemical conversion of biomass. Biogas is composed mostly of methane (CH 4 ), the main compound in fossil natural gas, and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ).
DetailsMunicipal solid waste (MSW), often called garbage or trash, is used to produce energy at waste-to-energy plants and at landfills in the United States. MSW contains: Biomass, or biogenic (plant or animal products), materials such as paper, cardboard, food waste, grass clippings, leaves, wood, and leather products.
DetailsWood continues to be an important fuel in many countries, especially for cooking and heating in developing countries. In 2022, about 2.1% of U.S. annual total energy consumption was from wood and wood waste—bark, sawdust, wood chips, wood scrap, and paper mill residues. 1
DetailsBiomass was burned for warmth and light, to cook food, and to feed the animals people used for transportation and plowing. Nonrenewable energy began replacing most renewable energy in the United States in the early 1800s, and by the early-1900s, …
