    Green Energy Now

    Is Biomass Green Energy Source

    Is biomass a green energy source? According to experts, yes it is. In fact, it is one of the three main areas of bioenergy.

    But what is bioenergy? Well, it is a process by which organic material such as animal waste, plants and wood are used to generate electricity, produce heat and also aid in the production of biofuels.

    In the case of biomass, hot air or water is generated to produce electricity. This is done through direct combustion and is considered the simplest and most common method of generating energy from biomass.

    Aside from generating electricity, biomass can be used for hot air production so you can keep a place warm. For this to work, biomass has to be combusted in a furnace where it heats either water or air. Speaking of water, this enables you to have warm water so you can take a shower. In short, biomass in itself can also be used in a small scale as a heating system.

    Since you can generate electricity and heat, some people have been able to combine the two which is known as combined heat and power or CHP. Something that many consider to be good as you use one energy source for two purposes.

    If you are able to compare the amount of electricity generated between biomass and let’s say solar energy, you will notice that biomass produces more because the energy in plants is already captured and stored.

    You don’t have to collect it first which is what happens with solar or even wind energy since this is manufactured technology. It is readily available unlike the other two which is totally dependent on the weather.

    Another is the fact that you can even use organic waste to product electricity. No other green energy source can do that and by using this extensively, any government can save money because you don’t have to spend money to dispose of the waste and you will no longer depend on foreign oil that much to power your plants.

    The downside to biomass is that because you have to burn waste and other organic materials to product power, you add to the pollution which is already in the atmosphere. But this can be offset of course by planting more crops which we know helps reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

    You will also have to shell out a lot of money initially for the costs of labor, the transport of these fuels and how these should be stored.

    Biomass uses renewable natural resources which is why it is considered a green energy source. This means that we have an endless supply of it around just like the power of the sun or the wind which flows from the ocean. The challenge is to find suitable land that has a sufficient water supply so these will be able to grow.

    This means that in areas where water is not that abundant, you cannot rely on biomass technology to generate power. When that happens, you use other means and one good example given the right geographical location is wave energy which is the process of generating power from the water.

    There is a way to generate power without causing harm to the environment. We have the technology and the green energy sources. We just need to muster the willingness to make it happen.

    Cars Run On Water And Other Fabulous Tips To Save The Earth

    May 19th, 2010

    Helping the environment and essentially saving the world from pollution can happen if everyone does something each day to make a difference. Making cars run on water is an important and realistic approach to making a difference. Just as recycling has helped so far. The choices we make can make a difference and these ideas can get you moving in the right direction whether you are new to it or a seasoned veteran, there is something for everyone.

    Right now more then ever it is exciting to think of the progress which has been made to have cars run on water. There are a couple major ideas that seem to be catching on. One is to change the H2O into HHO gas and with heat it creates a fuel to enable your car to run completely with the water, whereas you will not need traditional gasoline. The other idea catching on is to convert your car into a hybrid style using the combination of gas and water, allowing one to double their gas mileage.

    The good thing about a trend catching on is that you begin to see lots of choices in its presentation. Think reusable shopping bags, when they first started popping up they were very generic. Nowadays, you can choose very stylish, colorful and fun bags that look as good as they are functional. Now they can be found at more grocery stores then ever, right at the check out counter so it’s easy to add to your shopping list. They are so inexpensive that if you have some and forgot them it doesn’t hurt to grab one for your groceries and just add it to your collection.
