Biomass Energy Advantages over Non-Renewable Energy Sources
Aug 14
- There are many biomass energy advantages which non-renewable energy sources do not offer
- Renewable alternative power sources are an important step to a cleaner earth, and less pollution in the future
- Biomass energy advantages include sufficient availability, price stability, the fact that it is environmentally friendly, and very efficient
There are many biomass energy advantages, especially when this power source is compared to sources which are not renewable. Biomass can include a large number of things, because any matter which is organic and decomposes is included. Trees, plants, wood, industrial and municipal wastes, manure and solid sewage wastes, food wastes, and others are all biomass and can be used to create energy. One of the best biomass energy advantages is that most biomass to energy processes are carbon neutral, or close to it. As plants and trees grow, they clean carbon from the air and earth. When this material is used to generate power there may be a small amount of carbon released, but this is offset by the carbon that was absorbed first. Another advantage is that this material is available in abundance, because agricultural wastes, landfills full of garbage, and other sources of biomass are being created all the time. This makes this energy source renewable, and not reliant on a finite supply of resources that will eventually run low and cause a shortage.
Biomass energy advantages make them the obvious choice over non-renewable sources like fossil fuels. There are fewer greenhouse gas emissions and pollution released, so the earth stays cleaner and healthier. There are no invasive and destructive mining or drilling processes and methods used that destroy the earth and poison the environment. Biomass will be replaced as it is used, so that there will always be a plentiful supply of clean energy available. Using this material to generate power instead of placing it in the landfill will also help protect the environment, because as biomass decomposes it releases methane and other gases. If these gases are not captured they will go into the air instead, and cause more damage to the planet. There are many renewable energy sources available, but many have problems which prevent them from being utilized effectively. This is not true with biomass, and this renewable energy source can meet even the biggest power demands without harming the global population or the earth and environment.
