Technologies - Biomass Energy
Biomass is organic material, either raw or processed, with an intrinsic chemical energy content. Biomass can further be divided into more specific terminology, with different terms for different end uses: heating/cooling, power (electricity) generation or transportation. The term 'bioenergy' is commonly used for biomass energy systems that produce heating or cooling and/or electricity and 'biofuels' for liquid fuels for transportation. Given that the sector could make a major contribution to the security of supplies, biomass has become a major factor in energy, environmental and agricultural policies. Although progress has been made, this has not been enough given the potential of biomass and the available technologies. For more information:
