BIOENERGY / BIOMASS ENERGY
The rapid increase in population and industrialization brought with it the need for energy.
Biomass energy is one of the main sources to be used in order to provide energy sustainably
without causing environmental pollution. This type of energy is an inexhaustible resource that
can be ubiquitous, and is seen as an appropriate and important source of energy, especially in
rural areas, as it helps in socio-economic development.
For biomass, specially grown plants such as corn, wheat, herbs, algae, algae at sea, animal
feces, fertilizer and industrial wastes, and all organic waste (fruit and vegetable residues)
discharged from households are the sources.
Despite the depletion of fossil fuels (coal, etc.) and environmental pollution, the use of
biomass
is
becoming increasingly
important to solve
the energy problem.
Biomass, which
emerges as the origin of
plants and living
organisms,
is
often
referred to as plant
organisms that store
solar energy with
the
help
of
photosynthesis.
Biomass can also be
defined as the
total mass of living
organisms belonging to a species or a community of various species at a given time.
By synthesizing organic materials which are energy sources through photosynthesis, it
gives the atmosphere the oxygen required for the respiration of all living things. Since the
carbon dioxide produced by the combustion of the organic substances produced is taken from
the atmosphere during the formation of these substances, the environment will be protected in
terms of CO2 emission during energy production from biomass. Plants are not only a source
of nutrients, but also environmentally friendly inexhaustible sources of energy.
Fossil fuels, which are
under the plants, have the
biomass described above,
the
temperature
and
throw
many
harmful
burned.
In addition, short-term
over millions of years
dioxide balance in the air,
formed after millions of years
same characteristics as the
but because they change with
pressure in theground, they
substances into the air when
combustion of this accumulation
leads to a deterioration of carbon
resulting in global warming.
