Biomass is a renewable source of energy, which is developed from organic matter that is otherwise dumped or burnt. Biomass is preferred over fossil fuels owing to its emission of reduced carbon as compared to fossil fuels, and is widely used to produce electricity, thermal energy, and other forms of power.

The most significant benefit of biomass energy is its easy procurement, given its a renewable source . The other benefits of this renewable source of energy are as follows:

1)Carbon neutral

The fuel produced using biomass doesn’t emit carbon. Biomass is made up of organic matter and contains guaranteed levels of carbon that have already been discharged, making it an eco-friendly energy source, which helps control climate change by reducing greenhouse gases produced during energy creation.
With the new and advanced technologies that control pollution and combustion engineering the emissions from biomass in industrial facilities are significantly less compared to fossil fuels.

Thermax, one of the best power generation companies in India provides such technology.

2)Reduced dependency on fossil fuels

Biomass reduces the need for using non-renewable assets for delivering power. All non-renewable sources of energy creation will soon be replaced by biomass, leaving a positive effect on the environment.

3)Manages waste

Energy produced using biomass helps to keep the environment clean. With the increasing world population, the amount of waste generated is also increasing without a proper disposal process in place. Most of this waste ends up in water bodies, affecting the water ecosystem and negatively impacting human health.

4) Easily available source of energy

Unlike other sources of renewable energy, biomass is a widely available and economical energy source. Waste from agriculture, forestry, fisheries, animal carcasses, aquaculture, and algae can all be used to produce this fuel.

5) Facilitates economic diversification

As biomass helps to produce variety of products, energy and services, there is the potential to create jobs, new production facilities, and transportation routes, etc. to support its production.
In India, Thermax was responsible to execute and commission the first ever biomass-based IPP set. They set up the Kalpatru plant under the aegis of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy. This is a 7.8 MW IPP plant with diverse fuels such as mustard husk, mustard straw, and cotton stalk. Their long engagement in the energy business has capacitated them with a deep understanding of fuels.
