Balance is the Key in Alternative Energy – Biomass
Alternative Energy , Green Living
Biomass is a type of renewable source that is from biological materials that are obtained from the recently living or living organisms like animal-based materials, vegetables and plants. Other materials like animal manure, slurries, straws, husks, poultry litter, trees, and agriculture can also be used to produce biomass.
In simpler terms, bioenergy is the fuel that is provided by recently living materials that are produced naturally such as animal fat, wood or plants. In a more complicated or scientific explanation, utilizing bacteria that are genetically modified so that it will create cellulosic ethanol can also produce Bioenergy. Oil and coal are also organic matter but they are not considered as sources for bioenergy since they were not living things in the first place.
One of the major impacts that bioenergy will have in our lives is that is can replace our existing diesel and petrol with little or no changes or modifications to the engines. Bioethanol and biodiesel are already making their names known that even some notable vehicle manufacturers are already pledging to support this discovery. Plus, with the go green movement, news about biodiesel and its positive impact on our environment have become more widespread.
There are different types of bioenergy and they can be produced in different ways and they also have different uses.
