BIOMASS

Energy through biomass is to use organic matter as an energy source. This organic matter can be from agricultural waste (olive pits, dried fruit shells, remains of vine pruning) to wood remains, such as pellets or sawdust. It is a type of cheaper, renewable energy production with fewer emissions due to its combustion method.

How does it work?

The process

Boilers are used where the material burns little by little. The resulting heat heats the water, which provides us with heating and hot water. This burning also generates ashes that can be used later as compost. Its main applications are to generate thermal energy and, at an industrial level, electrical energy, although the latter is a more complex process.

Advantages of biomass

It is a non-polluting renewable energy source that reduces CO2 emissions.

If waste from other activities such as biomass is used, this translates into recycling and waste reduction.

The energy produced from biomass is not subject to fluctuations in market prices and is a source of work in agricultural areas.

It allows to eliminate organic and inorganic residues at the same time that it gives them a utility.
