Biomass energy definition

Biomass energy means energy that is produced from organic material derived from plants or animals and available on a renewable basis, including, but not limited to, agricultural crops, tree crops, crop by-products, and residues.
Biomass energy means energy that is created in living plants through photosynthesis.
Biomass energy means energy derived from solid organic fuels from wood or forest or field residues.

Examples of Biomass energy in a sentence

  • Biomass energy systems can provide local economic benefits while reducing overall costs and improving environmental performance.

  • Biomass energy is a potential substitute for environmentally hazardous energy sources, such as coal and diesel fuel.

  • X., Biomass energy utilization in rural areas may contribute to alleviating energy crisis and global warming: A case study in a typical agro-village of Shandong, China.

  • Biomass energy is carbon neutral if growing the biomass removes as much CO2 as is emitted into the atmosphere from its combustion.

  • Biomass energy is carbon neutral only if the net life-cycle emissions are zero.


More Definitions of Biomass energy

Biomass energy means energy derived from the combustion or electro-chemical reaction (as with a fuel cell) of hydrocarbon materials of a biogenic origin using a solid, liquid or gaseous fuel. Biomass fuel materials include, but are not limited to, animal wastes (e.g., manure) and clean plant materials (e.g., wood chips, waste paper and crop wastes). Biomass fuels exclude products that have emissions that include heavy metals and other neurotoxins (e.g., municipal solid wastes). Biomass fuel materials may be converted to a gaseous fuel, such as landfills (i.e., landfill gas) or waste treatment facilities (i.e., digester gas), or to liquid fuels (e.g., biodiesel). To be considered a biomass facility, the facility must (i) employ maximum achievable control technology and continuous emission stack monitors for all chemical emissions of concern to human health and (ii) be listed in one of the following categories: anaerobic digestion systems operating on animal or plant wastes, methane gas, combustion of clean wood, bark or other plant material; or on combustion of fuels derived entirely from processing of clean wood, bark, or other plant or animal material, including processing by gasification, pyrolysis, fermentation, distillation, or densification.
Biomass energy means the energy that can be derived out of converting the form of material that is generated out of a biological process, by processes such as combustion, fermentation and digestion;
Biomass energy means any of the following that is used as the primary source of energy to produce fuel or electricity:
Biomass energy means any organic materials that can be burned and used as a source
Biomass energy means electricity generated by Biomass Resources.
Biomass energy means energy derived from the combustion or electro-chemical
