Biomass Power Benefits - Advantanges of Biomass Based Electricity!

Biomass power market is anticipated to witness a significant growth owing to technological advancements and increasing focus on research and development to provide biomass for power generation. Increasing use of biomass such as plant and manure materials to produce electricity and generate biomass fuels for transportation is expected to contribute to the industry growth over the forecast period.
By feedstock, the market is segmented into urban residue, biogas, agriculture & forest residues, energy crop, and woody biomass and landfill gas feedstock. By technology, the biomass power generation is categorized into landfill gas, co-firing, combustion, CHP, anaerobic digestion, and gasification.
The combustion segment dominates the industry regarding installed capacity and power generation. However, the sector may witness decline due to the emergence of advanced technologies such as co-firing and Combined Heat and Power (CHP). These technologies are more feasible and used to minimize greenhouse emission.  
Biomass power

Woody biomass is anticipated to lead global market followed by agriculture and forest residue owing to rapid growth of industrialization, emerging economies and the increasing demand for energy. Every country has their ways of using waste wood. In countries such Germany and the UK, waste wood is considered as renewable energy as they are used in particular biomass plants and as fuel for municipal waste incineration.
There are four thermochemical biomass conversion technologies for energy purposes namely gasification, liquefaction, pyrolysis and direct combustion. The selection is decided by characteristics of the fuel, costs and performance of the equipment available, energy and capacity needed and existed environmental legislations. Presently, biomass is converted into electricity by direct combustion method.
