Biomass Fuel types.

Name: Agricultural crops and wood fuels.

Definition:

Agricultural crops such as silver grass and straw from cereal crops can be used as a fuel for production of heat. Herbaceous material has a different composition from wood and its burning must be handled differently from that of wood.

Research:

Wood energy is the use of wood fuel to produce heat or electricity.

Crop, In agriculture, a plant or plant product that can be grown and harvested extensively for profit or subsistence. By use, crops fall into six categories: food crops, for human consumption wheat, potatoes feed crops, for livestock consumption oats, alfalfa fibre crops

Uses:

Heating or electricity

Image:

Name: Animal waste.

Definition:

Pig Manure, Horse Manure, Cow Manure

Research:

Animal wastes are commonly considered the excreted materials from live animals. However, under certain production conditions, the waste may also include straw, hay, wood shavings, or other sources of organic debris.

Uses: Planting

Name: Bio gas

Definition:

Ethanol

Methanol

Methane

Research:

Biogas means a gas produced by the anaerobic digestion or fermentation of organic matter. The organic matter can be manure, sewage sludge, municipal solid waste, biodegradable waste or any other biodegradable feedstock. Biogas is mainly methane and carbon dioxide.

Uses:

Vechiel,Cooking
