NRDC: Biomass Energy
Converting biomass into energy is one of the alternative energy technologies that can help curb air pollution and global warming.
http://www.nrdc.org/air/energy/fbiom.asp

Extractions: Converting biomass into energy is one of the alternative energy technologies that can help curb air pollution and global warming. Larger scale use of biomass to generate electricity or for motor vehicle fuel is a more recent development. And with our world's economy still built around the use of fossil fuels, biomass is worth a closer look. Technological advances and political accommodations have allowed biomass power to appear on the radar screen as a viable energy alternative. Today, biomass is poised to make a major contribution to domestic and international electricity and fuel needs while providing substantial environmental benefits. Biomass can be converted to energy, either as electricity or as liquid fuels, such as ethanol. Some of the most common biomass energy sources are wood, animal manure, crop residues and "dedicated" crops those grown specifically for energy such as willow trees and switchgrass. An uncountable number of woodstoves are being used to produce heat for buildings and for cooking throughout the world, making biomass one of the most common forms of energy. Utilities and commercial and industrial facilities are also using biomass to produce electricity in increasing amounts. But most biomass users today rely on inefficient and sometimes highly polluting ways of converting biomass into energy. Furthermore if the trees, crops and manure used to generate energy come from unsustainable practices such as clearcut logging and factory-style hog farming, then the biomass energy is unsustainable too.

Some analysts estimate a cost of $70, $80, even $100 per barrel of oil in the near future. Remember when buying a tank of gas was only about $20? Those days are over! We have no effective price control with foreign oil cartels such as OPEC and we are subject to oil shocks at any time. Part of the solution may be the development of alternative energy sources. Over time, a growing percentage of our total oil needs can be satisfied by solar, wind, fuel cells, biomass, new battery technologies and other forms of alternative energy.
Alligator Story

http://www.alligator.org/edit/issues/00-spring/000210/b02biomass10.htm

Extractions: If Tom Cunilio grins when he's speaking to you about things like biomass and green power, it's probably because he suspects you have no idea what he's talking about. He's probably right, too - unless you're an agronomist or an environmental engineer or recently had a large amount of marijuana confiscated from your home and burned to create electricity. Don't laugh - it's happened before. And, in a way Cunilio probably never imagined, it illustrates the complicated issue of biomass and renewable resources that he is trying to communicate to Gainesville residents in his quest for the Gainesville City Commission at-large seat. In broad terms, biomass refers to organic matter such as paper, plastic, wood and crops that can be burned to create energy. More specifically, it refers to a worldwide effort to reduce dependency on fossil fuels by supplementing the use of coal and oil with everything from garbage and sawdust to leucaena plants. The benefits in doing this include less trash in landfills, cleaner air, less dependency on foreign oil and, arguably, the creation and conservation of more jobs for rural farmers, he said. On the other hand, biomass is more expensive to use than fossil fuels because of the processing efforts involved.

Biomass is the oldest known source of renewable energyhumans have been using it since we discovered fireand it has high energy content. The energy content of dry biomass ranges from 7,000 Btus/lb for straws to 8,500 Btus/lb for wood. Domestic biomass resources include agricultural and forestry wastes, municipal solid wastes, industrial wastes, and terrestrial and aquatic crops grown solely for energy purposes, known as energy crops. Biomass is an attractive energy source for a number of reasons. First, it is a renewable energy source as long as we manage vegetation appropriately. Biomass is also more evenly distributed over the earth's surface than finite energy sources, and may be exploited using less capital-intensive technologies. It provides the opportunity for local, regional, and national energy self-sufficiency across the globe. And energy derived from biomass does not have the negative environmental impact associated with non-renewable energy sources. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, "developing a strong biomass industry in the United States will have tremendous economic benefits including trade deficit reduction, job creation, and strengthening of agricultural markets. Growth of the biomass industries can create new markets and employment for farmers and foresters, many of whom currently face economic hardship. Growing biomass energy crops provides new uses for agricultural land currently out of production which can help conserve farm land for future generations. Biomass usage can spur the development of new processing, distribution, and service industries in rural communities. Additionally, using biomass residues rather than disposing of them in landfills can also reduce a major land use problem. "

Extractions: by Mike Ewall , March, 2000 Green energy to bring us wind mills AND incinerators While the new green energy marketplace is bringing a 10 megawatt wind farm to southwest Pennsylvania, it has also targeted poor, minority communities in the state of Delaware with a 22.5 megawatt construction and demolition waste incinerator. A few years ago, if a corporation wanted to build a construction and demolition wood waste incinerator in your community, they would come in and tell everyone that you'd be getting a "co-generation plant to burn clean wood chips." Now that there is a green energy marketplace developing due to electric utility deregulation, these same incinerator pushers are now coming into communities promoting themselves as "green energy biomass co-generation power plants" that would "take pollution out of the air." Philpower Corporation, the proponents of this 720 ton per day incinerator, says that their new company is "specializing in environmentally-friendly power" and that they're doing this "in response to a growing need for green power." The company plans to build 3-5 more of these incinerators "between Baltimore and New York." Philpower Corporation already has a 10 year power purchase agreement with electric utilities who are connected to a variety of green energy marketing corporations. This is only the beginning.

Zobrist According to experts, oil discoveries peaked in the 1960s, while production in most countries has peaked or expected to peak sometime in the near future. Some estimate that our petroleum stores will run out in approximately 20 years, while others predict a supply that will last at least one 100 years more. Prognostications and arguments aside, it is reasonable to assume that someday energy usage will have to shift from petroleum to alternative sources.

Extractions: March 15, 2002 WASHINGTON, DC The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced that five energy service companies have been selected to use performance-based contracts to reduce energy use, manage utility costs and promote renewable energy at federal facilities by using biomass and alternative methane energy sources. Biomass includes dedicated energy crops and trees, agricultural crop residues, aquatic plants, wood and wood residues, animal wastes and other organic waste materials. Alternative methane is generated in landfills, wastewater treatment plants and coalbeds. "In his National Energy Plan President Bush directed the federal government, the nation's largest energy consumer, to lead by example," Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham said. "The contracts the Department of Energy is awarding today encourage innovative, biobased energy technologies to reduce federal energy consumption, without cost to the American taxpayers. Our goal is to make bioenergy cost-competitive with traditional energy sources." The energy service companies selected for the Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC) program for biomass and alternative methane are: Constellation Energy Source, Baltimore, Md.

Since the international recognition of global warming and the creation of the Kyoto Protocol, attention has been drawn to alternative energy sources to reduce the consumption of carbon emitters such as coal, oil and gas. The latter have been conveniently and cheaply available in many countries including the UK, however, these sources are not only dirty but have a limited life. Consequently the logic is to develop alternative energy sources with the emphasis strictly focussed on renewable energies, accompanied by a diminishing reliance on fossil fuels.
