Biomass energy technologies involve the use of renewable organic resources, also known as biomass, to produce energy-related products.
Biomass power is the largest source of renewable energy worldwide. By-products from most industries, including timber, agriculture, naturally occurring forest residues, household wastes and landfills, are all sources of biomass energy.
Through combustion, biomass can be used to create heat energy or for generating electricity. It can also be processed into biofuel. Various energy-related products can be derived from biomass resources.
Active Energy Group plc (LON:AEG) is a biomass based renewable energy business focussed on using its proprietary technology to transform low-cost or waste biomass material into renewable biomass fuels, thus creating next generation biomass products. AEG’S CoalSwitch® is a second generation biomass fuel that has been tested, and proven, to replace the traditional coal fired-power industry and existing renewable biomass industry without requiring plant modification.
