Technology description
Biomass is one of the most commonly used energy carriers.
From a technical perspective, biomass consists of biodegradable products or parts of products, waste, or residues of biological origin. The main source of biomass is agriculture, supplemented by forestry.
From a legal perspective, biomass means the biodegradable fraction of products, waste, or residues of biological origin from agriculture, including plant and animal substances, forestry and related industries, including fisheries and aquaculture, processed biomass, in particular in the form of briquettes, pellets, torrefied biomass, and biochar, as well as the biodegradable fraction of industrial or municipal waste of plant or animal origin, including waste from waste processing installations and waste from water treatment and wastewater treatment, in particular sewage sludge, in accordance with waste regulations regarding the qualification of the fraction of energy recovered from thermal waste conversion.
The most common use of biomass is its combustion to obtain heat (often in combination with electricity generation)..
In addition, biomass is often used for:
As can be observed, the category of biomass is exceptionally broad. Consequently, systems using biomass for energy purposes are also highly diverse.
Among them are:
