Here’s something you don’t hear at your average dinner table: bamboo might be the power plant of the future. Let’s drop the assumptions and look at how bamboo, the not-so-humble grass, is being reconsidered—not as panda lunch, but as a potential game-changer in the biomass energy industry. Bioenergy is energy… Continue reading
At its core, biochar is just charcoal but not just any charcoal. Biochar is made specifically from biomass – wood, plant trimmings, leaves, or crop residues – created using a special low-oxygen combustion method called pyrolysis. Let us breakdown what that means: Biomass: Recently living organic material (wood, crop residues,… Continue reading
Biomethane is a popular renewable fuel which is finding rapid acceptance across the world. Biomethane, the upgraded form of biogas, is obtained by removing carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide and water vapours from raw biogas. Biomethane is less corrosive than biogas, due to the absence of CO2 and sulphur, which makes… Continue reading
From on-site usage to transportation, the journey of biogas—from a simple byproduct to a versatile fuel—is compelling. Buckle up as we explore the ins and outs of storing and transporting biogas and biomethane! How is Biogas and Biomethane Produced Biogas is generated through a process called anaerobic digestion, where microorganisms… Continue reading
The world is changing. We’ve come a long way from the days when the only option for fuel was the fossil-fueled version. Biofuel is one of the most attractive renewable energy sources that is making significant contribution to the global energy mix. As time progresses, we’ll see biofuels contributing more… Continue reading
Biomass pellets are a type of biomass fuel, generally made from wastes from wood processing plants, agricultural wastes, forestry residues, bamboo etc. Pellets are manufactured in several types and grades as fuels for power plants, homes, and other applications. Biomass pellets are extremely dense and can be produced with a… Continue reading
Biomass gasification is the combustion of biomass wastes in limited air leading to the formation of a combustible gas, known as synthesis gas or syngas, consisting of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, methane, water, nitrogen, besides contaminants like char particles, ash and tars. Biomass gasification is an efficient way to… Continue reading
A biogas plant produces two main products – biogas and digestate; both can be further processed or utilized to produce secondary outputs. Biogas can be used for producing electricity and heat, as a natural gas substitute and also a transportation fuel. On the other hand, the digestate from the anaerobic… Continue reading
Biogas technology has turned the tables on conventional waste management, transforming what we discard into valuable renewable energy resources. In this post, we dive into the world of biogas, exploring its processes, benefits, and why it’s a game-changer in both energy production and climate change mitigation. What is Biogas? Biogas… Continue reading
Biomass pyrolysis is a process that not only produces syngas and bio-oil but also yields biochar – a substance that can help improve soil health. Biomass pyrolysis is a thermo-chemical conversion process which involves combustion of organic materials in the absence of oxygen. Let’s explore this innovative approach that’s shaping… Continue reading
