Enhanced electricity generation using biomass materials

Renewable energy is a promising alternative solution for the energy requirements because it is clean and environmentally safe. Projections are important tools for long-term planning and policy settings. According to estimates, by 2040 approximately half of the global energy supply would be from renewable sources. Biomass can be converted into electric power through several methods. Heat is used to thermochemically convert biomass into a fuel oil which is then burned like petroleum to generate electricity. Biomass can also be burned directly to produce steam for electricity production or manufacturing processes. One alternative for producing electricity from biomass in a gas turbine is direct combustion of biomass as a primary energy source. Biomass is burned directly to produce steam, the steam turns a turbine which derives a generator thus electricity is generated.
