What is bio- energy? • Bio-energy is a plant and animal matter such as wood, straw, sewage and waste food! • We burn these natural materials to produce heat and electricity! • The earths Bio-mass is a huge store of energy which is continually renamed by the sun through photosynthesis. • The power we produce from biomass is called bio energy!
How does it work! • We can get bio-fuel [Oil] from plants called oilseed rape! • Some bio-fuels are made from food crops like corn ,grain and sugar cane can be processed into ethanol. • Bio-fuel is once-living material that has been dead for millions of years! • Oilseed rape is a yellow plant squished to get the oil out of the flower!
Advantages! • The fuel is cheap! • It helps get rid of waste, which can cause smells and pollution! • It is not using up limited resources like coal: biomass can not run out!
Disadvantages! • Burning the fuel creates carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. However , if you grow crops that absorb the same amount of carbon dioxide from the air that is created by burning them, the effect on the environment is less harmful. • Collecting waste in big enough amount to generate energy can be difficult. • If trees aren't groan especially for, fuel, and re-planted, the result is deforestation.
Future! • In the future if there is no bio-fuel, then there will be no power to power anything!
