Abstract

Biomass is organic, that means it's made from material that comes from living organisms, like plants and animals. The foremost common biomass materials used for energy square measure plants, wood, and waste. This square measure referred to as biomass feedstocks. Biomass energy may also be a non-renewable energy supply. Biomass contains energy initial derived from the sun: Plants absorb the sun’s energy through chemical process, and convert dioxide and water into nutrients carbohydrates. The energy from these organisms will be remodelled into usable energy through direct and indirect means that. Biomass will be burned by thermal conversion and used for energy. Thermal conversion involves heating the biomass feedstock so as to burn, dehydrate, or stabilize it. The foremost acquainted biomass feedstock’s for thermal conversion square measure raw materials like municipal solid waste (MSW) and scraps from paper or lumber mills.
