By: EnviroCitizen | 2010-09-17 | Science What is Biomass Energy?In short, biomass energy is the process of incinerating organic waste, such as dead trees, branches, yard clippings, crops, wood chips or sawdust, to create energy. Biomass is converted into energy through a relatively simple process, especially when compared to other manners used to obtain energy. First, the organic waste is collected at biomass power plants. read more

By: Mike Silcox | 2012-03-20 | Environment When you think of alternative energy methods, you likely think of wind turbines, solar panels and hydroelectric plants. However, there are other sustainable types of energy still found in the earth itself, and the Hill Air Force Base biomass is just one example of this. The site in Utah is one of the most important alternative fuel sites in the United States, and will still be for years to come. read more
By: Brian Walters | 2012-04-01 | Environment The Nacogdoches biomass plant is located near Sacul, Texas and was first developed by American Renewables in 2009. Shortly after construction began on the project, American Renewables sold it to Southern Power Company, which is one of the largest wholesale energy companies in the Southeast United States. The Nacogdoches biomass plant is a 100-megawatt wood-fired plant and includes the following: read more

By: Angelina Winters | 2010-03-28 | Environment From the very beginning of civilization biomass fuels were being used for the production of energy but from the last few decades, it has been a matter of great debate whether biomass energy is advantageous or not. With all the research and experiments scientists and researchers came to this result that it has many advantages over fossil fuels and it does help in reducing greenhouse effect. read more
By: Dea David | 2010-12-01 | Technology Biomass energy seems to become a new source of reducing fossil fuel consumption in order to mitigate air pollution. It has a huge potential of generating a cleaner source of power in terms of generating electricity. read more
By: Cori Bird | 2012-04-05 | Environment When most people think about renewable energy, solar power or wind energy comes to mind. And while these two may be the leading sources of renewable energy in North America right now, it doesn’t mean they’re the only ones! Coastal states often utilize tidal energy or wave power, but for states that are located further inland, bio-mass is another key choice. Illinois is one of the inland states read more
