Did you know that your car can run on corn and that your lamp can run on banana peels? Corn and food scraps are both examples of biomass. In this lesson, you'll learn how biomass can be converted to the energy that powers our lives. ...
The energy-efficient transformation of waste into naturally derived products could eliminate greenhouse-gas emissions from stored manure and traditional fertilizer production while offsetting the energy needed to run the farm. Waste-to-fertilizer strategies, even if scaled up...
Berkley, and those of a few others, are showing that some organisms can not only survive an encounter with raw electrons pumped through the silicon, but live for weeks this way. In the process, they have opened up a new path towards sustainable energy. The hope is ...
1. Renewable Energy Source:Image Renewable energy is derived from natural sources that get replenished at a higher rate compared to the rate they get consumed. These include sunlight, wind, water, biomass, etc., that is considered clean energy and is in abundance around us. ...
Biomass energy is a renewable and sustainable source of energy derived from organic matter and can be used to generate electricity and other forms of power. Common materials that can be used to develop biomass fuel include manure, forest debris, scrap lumber, mulch, sewage, certain crops and so...
► The energy imbalance is an outstanding problem in micrometeorology. ► We hypothesize that an energy balance model provides further insights into the energy imbalance. ► We used eddy covariance energy flux and auxiliary data from three sites in three differing biomes. ► The energy balance...
non-fossil energy technologies that require further development. Like wind and solar, emerging solutions, such as hydrogen, carbon storage and next-generation biomass tech also have the potential to become commercially viable. For these to succeed, we need to get in early with policy support, subs...
In that way, sanitation systems can become a part of a circular and bio-based economy whereby biomass that would have gone to waste is otherwise used to make useful products and energy for society. The process of planning and implementing circularity in sanitation is complex. The waste streams...
Research on energy production from biomass usually focuses on the amount of energy generated. But it is also important to consider how much energy goes into the process, a component that is often neglected, says Tony Grift, ...
