Q: How does a biomass power plant get fuel year round?
Please provide sources. Please provide any sites about biomass power. How does a biomass power plant get the fuel it needs year round if it needs plant matter, and farms only harvest once, maybe twice, a year?
A: We burn tree bark in a biomass boiler. Trees are harvested year around by a paper mill. The bark is removed by a debarking drum and a conveyor takes the bark to a bark dryer, then to a surge bin where it is stored and fed by screw conveyors into the boiler. In addition waste paper and cardboard are run through a pelletizer. The waste paper(and cardboard) is shredded, compressed and extruded through dies where it comes out looking a little bigger around than a cigar. These cigar pieces are burned. We run it year around.
Q: Do biomass power plants not emitt any greenhouse gases?
I was wondering since bio gas (Usually Methane) is burned in Biomass power plants (Correct me if im wrong), arent there any greenhouse gases emitted, or are Biomass power plants zero emissions?
A: It does
Q: Biomass power?
what r the advantages and disadvantages of Bio mass fuels?
can u answer in english please?
A: Agriculture, transportation and constructive dispose of large quantities of wood and plant products. These are examples of biomass. Biomass is any sort of vegetation or animal wastes that can be converted into liquid fuels and gaseous fuels.For example, sugar cane juice can be made into an alcohol called ethanol.
Ethanol can be mixed with gasoline to form gasohol.Gasohol can be used instead of petrol in some cars.Biomass stores chemical energy and can be burnt to produce heat in power stations to generate electricity.
Biomass energy is renewable.If burnt efficiently, it does not cause air pollution.The bad side is a large amount of biomass is required to produce the same amount of energy produced by a small amount of fossil fuels.
Q: what are locations of the nuclear,hydroelectric,tidal, solar,wind and biomass power plants in India?
I need the areas and the power stations of each
A: I’m sure this is just a project on ways India is what India is doing with regards to alternative energy sources.
Tamil Nadu is one of the states where wind power is exploited well.

Q: where to get development funds and part financing for a biomass power plant for an entrepeneur ?
Feasibility/financial studies completed for the biomass power plant venture in Malaysia. IRR Post Tax at 11%; Equity IRR Post Tax at 25% (30% capital investment); Equity Payback period 5 years;
Already in discussion with power purchasers for Power Purchase Agreement; Land Agreement discussion in place; Fuel Purchase Agreement discussion in place; CDM application in discussion.
Low Risk as the technology is a succesffuly applied technology, the power purchaser is a credit A+ limited company (Malaysian Government Owned); fuel supply is abundant and can be for long term contracts up to 10+12 yrs.
A: i know a company that is extensively into sustainable energy systems.. and I have found the people there quite helpful. please check up with them: www.teamsustain.com
Q: What plants might be grown, just for Biomass power plant fuel?
A: Corn is often thrown around, but is too unfeasible (takes as much energy to make it as you get burning it).
Sugar Cane is used successfully in Brazil, making them almost energy independent.
Switchgrass has been shown to be better than Sugar Cane and can be grown domestically in the USA.
Algae is even better than switchgrass and research is going on for that.
All of these have the problem that the cellulose cracking enzymes are expensive and tend to break down.
Q: Existing Biomass Energy Power Plants utilizing Municipal Solid Waste?
Can you name some currently existing/operational biomass power plants generating electricity through gasification of municipal solid wastes? Thanks.
A: The RESCO plant in Saugus, Massachusetts burns municipal waste as is and is compliant with all emissions standards and has been doing so for more than 30 years. It generates power to be sold on the open market.
Q: Describe all of the renewable energy alternatives: wind power, solar energy, and biomass fermentation?
o What are some challenges with using and managing wind power, solar energy, and biomass fermentation as alternative renewable
energy resources?
o Name at least one other renewable energy resource.
o Include a response to the following: Nonrenewable energy resources include coal,
oil, and natural gas. Describe three common challenges with managing
nonrenewable energy resources.
A: Okay, I don’t think anyone’s taken this seriously yet, so…
How about, hydro-electric, geothermal steam, wind turbines, augmentative passive solar, such as water heating and daylighting (somwhat different then solar lighting, or skylighting, although skylights count.) Also let’s not forget rain harvesting, and gray-water usage.these save water, and energy from a treatment, billing, delivery standpoint.
Now that I asnwered the name other part: challenges, what happens when there is no sun/wind/water-flowing, if you have all of these, it won’t happen that often, but when it does, are batteries a practical solution? Won’t they eventually wind up in land-fill off-gasing? If you only use one or two of the 3 majors, what about when any of those aren’t available? Availability is still a big concern, hopefully that will be the next stock-market bubble and drive a massive influx of green-products.
The common challenges with non-renewables, rather than starting from an environmental standpoint, how about we start with what they’re called. NON-RENEWABLE, eventually we will run out. It’s theorized that we’ve found all oil on earth, and will start a downward turn on production by somtime in 2008 or 2009. Aside from that, there’s the obvious global warming issues.
O hope this helps some.
Q: How can someone use biofuels including biomass and biodiesel to power their car?
And what kind of car would that be? How exactly could this fuel be used for driving? Are there any disadvantages and/or advantages for this fuel for a car?
A: There’s enough used deep frier oil to run a few bio diesel cars, there are environmental dedicated celebrities who fill up their car in the parking lot of a discount warehouse store with higher than gas priced soy oil. Standard diesel cars can be converted to run on bio diesel, usually a separate fuel tank and a heater to thin out the viscosity unstable bio oil are required, sometimes injectors are replaced too.
The net emission associated with a given fuel can be a complicated matter, just the act of disturbing the soil releases co2 that can take some years of production to balance out. While Brazil’s sugar cane is one of the most efficient sugar/alcohol producing crops, the American counterpart using corn delivers only a tiny net co2 reduction at the cost of a reduced water and food supply potential.
Q: Cost of biomass power plant?
I’m doing a project on Biomass. It’s very simple and I have most of it done. However, there are a few questions I can’t find direct answers for or are confusing.
Cost of power plant (Biomass)= $?
Output of power plant= ?MW
Cost of fuel= $? per ? (MW or kg)
Energy content of fuel: ?MW/kg
Your help is highly appreciated.
A: Well the size of the plant and many other factors will affect the end cost.
As for the output, here are some values to use to approximate
1 horsepower hr = 2540 BTU
Fuel value of methane = 950 BTU/ft3 (energy content)
745.7 watts per horsepower,This is ideal, obviously their will be some losses although most generators are very efficient (over 95%)
in addition losses from whatever turbine is used, I’m an electrical engineer so I don’t know what the efficiency of a steam turbine or jet would be
As an example 2.67 ft3 of methane will yield ~708 watts of power if the generator is 95% efficient neglecting the mechanical conversion.
Q: Where does one go to find a biomass power plant for sale?
A: Try eBay
Q: How many home with average electricity use will a 16-megawatt Biomass generator provide with power?
