Advantages of Biomass energy.

People says that biomass energy do not have any different than

other energy. Biomass energy just have the same amount of carbon

dioxide, methane released. The most famous debate is about food and

biomass energy. Large areas of crop and farm land are used for growing

biomass. This cultivation of crops for fuel might just put a little to much

strain on our limited resources such as water and land which could be

used for food crops. This biomass energy also just not economical to

produce, grow and transport biomass. This is especially true when the

source of biomass is not too close to the area of processing or the

methods used to process it are wasteful. This energy have a very lower

fuel economy than normal fossil fuels so that it not be able to generate

enough energy efficiently. This energy also a bit negligible as it depend on

a seasonal crops such as corn season. The net energy produce from this

energy is very low and not very efficient energy. Still need to remember

there is still good effect of biomass energy. There are many advantages of

using biomass energy.

Biomass energy produces less methane in atmosphere. In general,

methane is released by decomposition of atmosphere. Methane is very

dangerous when it release into the air. This is because methane causes

more greenhouse effect than carbon dioxide (la Garza, n.d). By capturing

this harmful energy, we can save our atmosphere. This is a good chances

to use biomass to good effect while can harvest this gas and put it to good

use.

Moreover, biomass energy can save the environment from being

polluted. Biomass released less of nitrogen compound. Air pollution and

acid rain can also be reduced if the nitrogen compound is lessen by using

biomass (Advantages of biomass energy, n . d). Furthermore, biomass is a

bio-degradable matter while fossil fuels contained carbon and nitrogen

from million years ago that would give a negative impact on the

environment as they release excessive amount of nitrogen. On top of that,

the replacing biomass energy from fossil fuels would reduce field burn and

forest as it is lower the risk to get burn compared to other energy.

Transportation fuels can be produced by using biomass energy. The

oil produced is from the extraction of plant that has the same

characteristics as fuels such as log. Hence, we can cut the petroleum

usage by 30percent. (La Garza, n.d). In addition, the greenhouse gas

emission can be reduced up to 10percent ( La Garza, n.d).

Furthermore, biomass energy is cheaper compare to the other

energy. We can burn chip wood to make fire instead of using gas that we

normally used to cook. Thus, we can reduce our using of gas supply to

make fire as gas is more expensive because it is non-renewable source

(Coysh, 2012). The process to convert biomass to energy is easier and

more efficient thus the cost selling of it is cheaper.

Finally, the effect of using biomass energy gives good effect to our

greenworld because it lessen the negative effect to the environment such

as acid rain, dangerous gas emmision and many more. The government

should promote this energy to the world because if many people are using

biomass energy, the lower the risk fo the environment and atmosphere

from getting polluted. Thus the world might change to something more

beautiful, cleaner and greener than before.
