The benefits of biomass
We are all pretty much agreed now that the world needs to look for alternative sources of energy. Fossil fuels are damaging and dangerous – and running out quickly. If we want our modern world to continue, we’re going to need better ways of powering it.
Solar energy is abundant but requires batteries to store it, and these involve mining and using dangerous materials. Wind energy is another option but not everyone appreciates the countryside and coastlines being blighted with hundreds of thousands of wind turbines. Tidal energy is another good idea but the infrastructure is incredibly expensive to put in place.
However, there is another way. Biomass burning is derived from renewable sources and organic matter such as wood and food waste. It can be used to both produce electricity and heat. If you think about it, biomass is the original fuel source used by mankind. We’ve been chopping and burning wood for millennia. The only difference is now we can do it in a cleaner, more efficient and less harmful way.
Of course, the main advantage of biomass is that it is renewable. Trees and plants take energy from the sun and turn it into fuel. Better still, they absorb carbon from the atmosphere, so they have a neutral impact over their lifetime. The more trees we plant, the more carbon they can remove and the more fuel we can have.
Rather than digging up vast tracts of land to mine coal, ripping oil from the sea bed or fracking deep underneath the ground on which we live, biomass involves making our world greener and increasing numbers of trees. It makes our planet cleaner and greener, and that can only be a good thing for all of us and future generations.
