Proposed Power Plant would Replace Fossil Fuel with Carbon-neutral biomass
Posted on September 15, 2009 - Filed Under Biomass, Renewable Energy | Leave a Comment
A new biomass power plant in Rothschild would cut dependence on fossil fuels, reduce acid rain and be nearly carbon-neutral, according to studies and experts.
It’s also a step, albeit a small one, toward Wisconsin’s goal of having 10 percent of all energy produced using renewable resources by 2015 — a goal established in Gov. Jim Doyle’s Clean Energy [...]
Cornell Technology Makes Biogas Greener
Posted on January 11, 2009 - Filed Under Biomass, Renewable Energy | Leave a Comment
Cornell plant scientists have invented a new method that uses manure and other farm byproducts to remove toxic hydrogen sulfide from biogas — a renewable energy source derived from the breakdown of animal waste.
Hydrogen sulfide can combine with water to cause acid rain and to corrode engines. Its removal makes biogas a more viable alternative [...]

Are We Overlooking Some of the World’s Sustainable Energy Fuels?
Ever since humans first huddled around a fire for warmth, people have burned logs, straw, wood and animal waste–otherwise known as biomass–to create energy. Indeed, throughout most of history, these crude forms of fuel answered the world’s energy needs. Only after the industrial age matured did [...]

what is biomass?
Biomass is organic plant materials, such as corn leaves or stalks, which do not directly go into foods or consumer products. These plant materials contain a complex mixture of organic materials, commonly known as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. The amounts of these organic components vary with the type of biomass used in the [...]
