BIOMASS Garrett DeSoto And Benjamin Christen
Can we get started? Yes? Good. • What is biomass? Biomass is the burning of waste material and turning it into fuel. What’s that? You want to learn more? OK, Whatever you say. Here we go!
HOW IT WORKS • How it works: you burn the material, which heats water into steam. The steam turns turbines, which turns generators, which makes electrical energy.
Advantages AND Disadvantages • ADVANTAGES • It makes sense to use our waste when we can. • The fuel tends to be cheap. • There is less demand on the fossil fuels. ~ DISADVANTAGES ~ Collecting or growing the fuel in sufficient quantities can be difficult. ~ We burn the biofuel, so it makes greenhouse gases just like fossil fuels. ~ Some waste materials aren’t available all year round.
Random facts about BIOMASS • Looking for more facts to amaze your friends? There’s some right here. • You can use the leftover pulp of sugar cane after you make sugar. • You can use any flammable material for biomass. • The material must be inanimate, though. • Wood can produce 150MW of energy! That’s a lot! • Electricity isn’t the only energy present. Thermal energy is there, too.
