A natural and renewable resource Biomass Energy A natural and renewable resource

Definition and types Definition Types of Biomass Biomass is biological material derived from living, or recently living organisms. Types of Biomass Biomass is plant based It can equally apply to both animal and vegetable derived material. Solid wastes

Location Virginia Maine Oregon Florida Texas

Resource Benefits Suppose to create 400+ construction jobs over the next 2.5 years. Biomass fuels produce virtually no sulfur emissions and help mitigate acid rain. Recycling of biomass decreases the needs of landfills. Biomass combustion produces less ash than coal.

Environmental Consequences Can impact air quality depending on feedstock of the plant. Can cause smog. Burning biomass for energy emits large amounts of air pollution and endangers human health. Dramatically increases greenhouse gasses.

Resource Uses Fuel Air or steam Gas Cleaning Air Turbine Flash heating Stack

Costs Stoker boiler 1880- 4260 Bubbling and circulating fluidized boilers 2170- 4500 Gasifier 5570- 6545 Landfill gas 1917- 2436 Digesters 2574- 6104

Applicable Legislation Noise control act Air quality act Clean water act Endangered species act Occupational safety & health act

Extra Facts Domtar Currently burns 130,000 tons of clean woody biomass each year. Biomass is all plant and animal matter on the Earths surface. Biomass energy is renewable, you can make more in a short time. Biomass can be made to make energy.
