The Burning Of Biomass And The Resulting Emissions

residue biomass is highly recommended as clean and renewable sources of energy that increases the possibility of replacing the consumption of conventional energy fossil fuels. The objectives of this review report is to evaluate the processes how briquettes are produced from agricultural wastes/residues and To compare the intensity of greenhouse gas emission using briquettes of agricultural wastes/residues with other forms of energy sources especially fossil fuels. Thus agricultural residue biomass energy

3 Biomass as a renewable energy resource Biomass can be considered as a renewable energy resource, although burning biomass releases carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere similar to burning fossil fuel (Liu H. 2011). There is a significant difference in CO2 release between burning a fossil fuel and burning biomass. Burning a fossil fuel releases CO2 that has been locked up for millions of years in the ground, affecting the natural CO2 cycle and resulting in an increase in the CO2 concentration in

died prehistoric plants and animals buried in the layers of land over a million of years. But there are lot of impacts on the environment by the use of fossil fuels through combustion resulting in the emission of greenhouse gases. Over the past 20 years three-fourths of human-caused emissions came from the burning of fossil fuels. Crude oil- plays an important role in the production of energy and united states consume more energy from petroleum than from any other sources. In 2014, 19 million barrels

secondary pollutants. The primary air pollutants are harmful chemicals which enter directly into the air due to natural human activities. Complete burning of any carbon containing substance produces CO2, whereas carbon monoxide is produced when burned partially. Another primary air pollutant is SO2 which is emitted to the air by volcanic eruption or burning of fuels which contain sulphur impurities. A secondary air pollutant is a harmful chemical produced in the air as a result of chemical reaction

its uses. Through the last 250 years, people have learned how to harvest and deal with energy in different forms to make work easier and live more comfortable. Nevertheless, this human activity is overloading the atmosphere with greenhouse gases emission, which make the temperature higher, trap heat and generates serious and harmful impacts on the environment and on climate. Therefore, the governments all around the world are making an effort to promote and develop renewable energy as the new main

a generator. Biomass is the use of plant matter and animal waste to generate electricity. Geothermal power is the use of heated water and steam from the Earth to run power stations, which turn the steam into electricity. Hydroelectric power is flowing water used to spin turbines which generate electricity (Danielson).The United States should convert to renewable energy sources like solar, geothermal, hydroelectric, wind, and biomass, because it will reduce global warming emissions, provide jobs

oil and gas companies exxon mobil, royal dutch shell, bp, Sinopec and bureaucracy the steps are not being taken to insure our future. The government is corrupted, State officials rather than elected representatives are making all the decisions. Burning fossil fuels negatively affects the environment because they release carbon dioxide and other gases that trap heat in the Earth 's atmosphere, which contributes to global climate change. But due to bureaucracy global climate change is still considered

change while describing key suggestions to help combat the issue. As stated in the text, there has been a global goal to keep global temperature “well below 2°C hotter than pre-industrial times.” This goal had not been met, while carbon dioxide emissions are simply not enough to “limit the rise in temperature successfully.” Moreover, the authors have claimed that “Stopping the flow of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere is not enough. It has to be sucked out, too.” This process, however, is very difficult

There are so many sources to produce electricity, which can divide by non-renewable sources and renewable resources. Examples of nonrenewable energy resource are fossil fuel and nuclear energy and renewable energy resources are solar, wind, and biomass energy.  However, nuclear energy has a low impact on the Earth and is the most efficient, reliable, pure, and cheap compared to any energy resources. Non-renewable energy source - fossil fuel According to Energy and the Environment, fuels refers

Energy sources, out with the bad in with the renewable. Currently in the U.S. we rely on non-renewable sources to produce our energy such as oil, coal, natural gas and nuclear energy. Although these methods do well producing energy, they also have large down falls environmental, economically, and in other ways that fail to show a promising future. This makes it necessary that we adapt alternative renewable energy methods that do not have these effects, and can insure a promising future. Because
