The term “Biomass” sounds complicated, but it isn’t. It’s just material from animal and plant waste that we can convert into energy. Biomass has energy from the sun stored in it. Whereas plants get energy directly from the sun through photosynthesis, animals acquire this energy indirectly by consuming plants.
Biomass is a term that describes renewable organic material from animals and plants. Scientifically, it’s the total weight or quantity of organisms in a given volume or area. This organic matter is used as fuel, especially in various power stations, to generate electricity.
In the 21st century, we’re doing our best to drift away from fossil fuels that have detrimental effects on the environment. However, finding one form of renewable energy that perfectly replaces fossil fuels is challenging. Biomass energy is proving to be one ideal source of energy that we might consider transitioning to.
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.
