Biomass Engineering UK FAQ's
Q. Who are Biomass Engineering?
Biomass Engineering are an international leader in the design, production and installation of biomass renewable energy systems. We are pioneers in the development of biomass technology, having invested more than fifteen years in research and development, supported by some of the UK’s leading academia in the field.
Q. What do Biomass Engineering do?
Biomass Engineering enable public and private organisations across the world to utilise the power of biomass technology in producing carbon neutral, modular distributed renewable energy.
Q. What is Biomass?
Biomass in technical terms is the biological material (living and recently dead) including grasses, crops, household waste or other organic matter that is used as fuel or for industrial production.
As biomass comes from living and recently dead matter it is considered to be renewable. Which means it can be replaced at the same rate at which it is used. Biomass is used to create renewable energy.
Q. What is Gasification?
Gasification can be described as the conversion of combustible solids including wood, coal, charcoal, using high temperatures. These solids are converted into a gaseous fuel mixture containing hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO).
Q. What is Pyrolysis?
Pyrolysis is described as the chemical decomposition of organic materials by heating without the presence of oxygen or any other reagents, except possibly steam.
Q. What is Bioenergy?
Bioenergy is the energy that is created from Biomass. As biomass uses living and recently dead matter, bioenergy is a renewable energy form which also has extremely low emissions.
Q. What is Renewable Energy?
Renewable energy, as the name suggest is energy that can be renewed, it can be renewed as it is created from natural sources including wind, rain, sunlight and biomass.
Q. Why do we need Renewable Energy?
Energy sources such of coal and oil are non renewable so there is going to come a point when they run out. Currently everyone relies on these energy sources everyday of the their lives so if they ever did run out it would make a massive difference to how we live. This is why we need renewable energy, we need to have something which we can use, which won’t run out to replace energy sources that may run out.
