M2 - Fri Aug 01, 4:25AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/756jvg/global_biomass) has announced the addition of the "Global Biomass Power Generation Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. Biomass power generation is a source of power generation from carbon contained in the waste of various human and natural activities. This waste is derived from various sources, including the by-products from the Timber industry, as well as from sugarcane crops, woody plants, agricultural residue, oil-rich algae, and the organic part of municipal and industrial waste. Power generation using biomass is increasing. Recovering energy from garbage has developed over the years from the simple incineration of waste in an uncontrolled environment to the controlled combustion of waste with energy recovery to ensure that emissions are within set limits. Biomass is an ideal substitute for conventional fossil fuels for heating and power generation. There are a number of technical options available to make use of a wide variety of biomass types as a renewable energy source. Conversion technologies may release the energy directly in the form of heat or electricity or may convert it to another form such as liquid biofuel or combustible biogas. Key Topics Covered: 01.

Making wood pellets isn't a complex process. However, this environmentally friendly industry is growing fast, especially in overseas markets that don't have the benefit of cheap natural gas. This is why U.S. players like Rentech need to make sure...
Global Biomass Market Forecast - Assessment of Opportunities, Trends and Challenges 2013-2023
M2 - Fri Jun 20, 6:52AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/r97xbg/global_biomass) has announced the addition of the "Global Biomass Market Forecast - Assessment of Opportunities, Trends and Challenges 2013-2023" report to their offering. Over the years to come, biomass will grow within the biopower, biofuels, and bioproduct sectors. About 70% of all biomass in the world is used in the residential sector, while 14% is used in industry and 11% is transformed into electricity, heat, or another energy carrier such as liquid fuel or biogas. The markets of biomass for energy are developing rapidly and becoming more international. A remarkable increase in the use of biomass for energy needs parallel and positive development in several areas and there will be plenty of challenges to overcome. Currently, only a limited number of modern bioenergy technologies are viable at market prices, which include Brazilian sugar-based ethanol and wood based heating in Northern Europe, and industrial applications such as cogeneration technology based on residues from production processes, including those in sugar factories and timber mills. The report contains the following: Challenges Facing the Market - High Capital Costs - Growing Demand of Electricity & Shortage in Supply of Biomass Feedstock - Popularity of Natural Gas for Power Generation - Growth of Liquid Biofuels for Transport Factors Driving the Market - Favorable Regulatory Mechanisms - Bright Future Ahead for Co-firing and Cogeneration in the EU - Improvement in the Feedstock Storage Market Key Topics Covered: 1. Executive Summary 2. Introduction to Biomass 3. Challenges Facing the Global Power Industry & the Need for Biomass 4. Potential of Biomass Resource by Country 5. Impacts on the Global Biomass Power Industry 6. Biomass Industry in Australia 7. Biomass Industry in Brazil 8. Biomass Industry in China 9. Biomass Industry in Finland 10.

When you think of burning wood, you probably imagine a campfire or a decorative fireplace. You most likely don't think about using wood to actually heat a home or generate electricity. However, that's increasingly exactly what's happening. You can...
Biomass Industry in Australia 2013
M2 - Fri Jun 07, 5:26AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ffkwfp/biomass_industry) has announced the addition of the "Biomass Industry in Australia" report to their offering. The Australian biofuels industry is very small and currently supplies less than 0.5% of nation's transport fuel using first generation technology. There is a pressing need to assess the potential of sustainably produced biomass for second generation, non-food biofuels and associated bioenergy if the industry is to play a more significant role in Australia's energy future. Biomass was responsible for only about one percent of Australia's overall electricity supply in the year 2011. Australia currently supplies 75% of its transport fuel from local oil and gas sources. However, demand is growing at an increasing rate and without major new discoveries or technological breakthroughs this fraction is estimated to decline to 45% by 2030. Biofuels can potentially reduce Australia's greenhouse gas emissions, as well as reduce the coun
Global Biomass Industry 2013
M2 - Thu Jun 06, 9:05AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/qx36fj/global_biomass) has announced the addition of the "Global Biomass Industry" report to their offering. Over the years to come, biomass will grow within the biopower, biofuels and bioproduct sectors. The market value of electricity generated from biomass in the United States was over $45 billion in 2011. About 70% of all biomass in the world is used in the residential sector, while 14% is used in industry and 11% is transformed into electricity, heat, or another energy carrier such as liquid fuel or biogas. Under the present market conditions, the majority of available renewable power resources including biomass power are yet to become cost competitive compared to non-renewable resources including coal and natural gas. Going forward, benefits from national level programs, energy efficiency incentives and financial incentives targeting the expansion of the renewables market will create demand for additional biomass power capacity globally between 2012 and 2035. In rural areas, biomass fuels are mainly collected by users, whereas in urban areas they are mostly marketed after collection by urban authorities or their agents. Urban use is based on the collection and processing of large quantities of waste, mainly by municipal authorities for processing in central plants and distribution by commercial means. Biomass plants are highly capital intensive, making adoption of biomass technology for electricity generation rather expensive when compared to thermal power generation. Unlike coal, biomass products including wood pellets must be kept indoors to reduce moisture content. As biomass feedstock lacks durability, issues including storage and transportation add cost to biomass power generation, making biomass power generation expensive. The markets of biomass for energy are developing rapidly and becoming more international. A remarkable increase in the use of biomass for energy needs parallel and positive development in several areas and there will be plenty of challenges to overcome. Currently, only a limited number of modern bioenergy technologies are viable at market prices, which include Brazilian sugar-based ethanol and wood based heating in Northern Europe and industrial applications such as cogeneration technology based on residues from production processes, including those in sugar factories and timber mills.
