Abstract

Biomass is a reliable source of energy that can help solve the energy crisis and reduce environmental damage. Along with rising petroleum and gas prices, as well as the growing energy crisis, an alternative type of energy that is more environmentally friendly and considerably inexpensive is ever so demanding. Biomass is one of the choices between these types of energy sources. This source, the oldest known source of energy for humans, does not accumulate much to the carbon dioxide level on Earth. The reason behind this case is that most biomass is produced by photosynthesis by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and the process only releases the absorbed carbon dioxide after its conversion to energy. Biomass can be reproduced, and it does not take millions of years. This chapter presents the different types of biomass with application in hybrid poly-generation energy systems.
