Biomass is the energy produced from Biological wastes which are not harmful in any way. You can use many kinds of products such as Wood waste, Agricultural and Forest residue and Energy crops in order to produce Biomass Energy.

Why Agricultural wastes are better than wood?

Wood Wastes are the most preferred yet it is better to use Agricultural residue mainly for one reason. If you don't use the residue, it is still going to get destroyed one way or the other. But if you do make a use out of it, you will be able to make profit as well help in the clearing of waste.

Advantages of Biomass

The implementation of Biomass production should facilitate two things. One is the profitable income source for the investors as well as the workers and the second being the production of Eco-Friendly energy. One common misunderstanding that you all have is that you consider any kind of energy produced from a biomass plant as green and eco-friendly. It isn't true mainly because you are going to be burning wood inside the plant.

If you use wood that is rich with ground level Carbon dioxide, it will definitely harm the planet. However, you can use wood that contains atmospheric Carbon. It takes quite some amount of money as well as time to classify the wood like that but if you use Agricultural residue, you don't have to worry about any of these things.

This is because; the agricultural plants absorb only atmospheric carbon dioxide through their act of Photosynthesis and there is no chance for them to have any ground level carbon in them.

Biomass from Agricultural Residues

Easy Implementation of Biomass
Although there have been many successfully experimented results in the field of Biomass, the farmers are being reluctant to implement them into practice and the Government too has done nothing about it. This is because the Farmers are aiming for a profit from this and they fear that any experimentation with the method might lead them towards a loss. What the Government fails to understand is that in the case of Biomass, the Farmer is not just a link. He is the most basic element in the chain as he does the work in addition to providing the commodities.

Understanding the types of Agricultural residue
One can obtain agricultural residue from many plants and a very good example for this case is Maize. It is one of the widely used plants for producing energy and it is cultivated for more than 300,000 hectares of land area. Since the cultivation is more, the residue will also be more leading to it becoming a well renowned Biomass energy source.

Another important factor that increases the usage of Maize in energy plants is that it can be easily cultivated. It can grow in almost all kinds of land area as well as in all kinds of climatic conditions making it the perfect plant for around the year Biomass production.

Also, one can innovate a lot with different types of crops for different types of biomass furnaces to produce varying results. Only experimentation will lead us to successful Biomass production.
