Biomass Production

Biomass production research and research on technologies for conversion of biomass to energy is developing rapidly within the ecu Union. In the UK, it has become clear that the two research areas must, of necessity, be linked. To allow examination of this linkage, a comprehensive economic and systems model has been developed at ETSU. This model, referred to as the Renewable Energy Crop Analysis Programme, RECAP, may be a versatile computer model of the entire biomass to energy chain. It details all costs from biomass production through harvesting and transportation to final energy conversion. Study of interdependencies and sensitivities to key factors are possible and rapid analysis of the positive effects of “what if scenarios can be undertaken. Biomass is plant or material used for energy production (electricity or heat), or in various industrial processes as raw substance for a variety of products. It can be purposely grown energy crops (e.g. miscanthus, switchgrass), wood or forest residues, waste from food crops (wheat straw, bagasse), horticulture (yard waste), food processing (corn cobs), animal farming (manure, rich in nitrogen and phosphorus), or human waste from sewage plants. Burning plant-derived biomass releases CO2, but it's still been classified as a renewable energy source within the EU and UN legal frameworks because photosynthesis cycles the CO2 back into new crops. In some cases, this recycling of CO2 from plants to atmosphere and back to plants can even be CO2 negative, as a comparatively large portion of the CO2 is moved to the soil during each cycle.
