Biomass burned for energy

Biomass as a source of energy in Germany.

Their biomass is used to produce carbon neutral energy.

(b) Renewable sources of energy, including biomass ethanol, with special emphasis on wind energy

a In the context of Renewables 2004, renewable energy sources and technologies include solar energy, wind energy, hydropower, biomass energy including biofuels, and geothermal energy.

These five projects support biomass, geothermal, wind, and solar thermal energy technologies.

Biomass. The increased use of biomass for energy production and heating should be fostered as one of the most effective climate protection measures.

Report of the Secretary General on renewable sources of energy, including biomass ethanol, with special emphasis on wind energy

In respect of biomass as a source of energy in the case of Kenya

(e) Promotion of efficient use of waste biomass energy the number of facilities and

In the energy supply sector, opportunities for partnerships between African Parties can be investigated in the areas of solar and biomass energy.

Biomass and fossil fuels remain the main forms of energy used in non Annex I Parties.

In African countries, biomass is the key source of energy, accounting for 50 to 90 per cent of the total national energy supply.

Many Parties provided information on alternative energy resources and mentioned that these include photovoltaic, solar thermal, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, oil shale, and biomass energy.

Many Parties provided information on alternative energy resources and mentioned that these include photovoltaic, solar thermal, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, oil shale, and biomass energy.

The most commonly supported renewable energy technologies are biomass, small hydro, solar, and wind, but two Parties (ISL, NZL) indicated support for geothermal energy technologies.

(f) Identifying and analysing energy issues relating to specific energy sources such as modern biomass technologies, which are attracting considerable attention for their potential of providing significant amounts of renewable energy.

In 1994 it utilized 26.4 per cent of renewables in the energy balance, evenly distributed between biomass and hydro.

Many reporting Parties mentioned that they rely heavily on fossil fuel imports to meet their energy needs, in addition to using their indigenous energy sources, such as biomass.

Renewable energies include biomass for fuel (wood and straw), biogas, biofuel (bioethanol and biodiesel), electricity cogenerated from sugar cane, solar energy, wind energy, thermal hydroelectricity, and fuel cells.

Many reporting Parties mentioned that they rely heavily on fossil fuel imports to meet their energy needs, in addition to using their indigenous energy sources, such as biomass.

In many Parties (China India, Malawi, Zambia and others), there is high dependence on biomass energy, which contributes to deforestation.

Depending upon circumstances, these can include improved biomass cooking stoves or larger scale, more efficient, plants for converting fuelwood to energy.

Finland also has a number of programmes on energy efficiency and renewables, in particular biomass, that are described in the communication.

Examples of UNIDO's rural energy projects being developed or replicated include renewable energy based electricity generation for isolated mini grids, renewable energy based rural ICT systems and the application of modern biomass technologies in rural areas.

Low carbon primary energy means three options renewable energy, including wind, solar, geothermal, hydropower, and biomass nuclear energy and carbon capture and sequestration, which means using fossil fuels to create energy, but trapping the CO2 emissions that result and storing the carbon safely underground.

Over the past three years, private investors have invested more than 3 billion euros in generating energy from wind, water, sun and biomass.

The development of local sustainable energy networks based on biomass production can play an important role through locally based combined heat and power plants.

Likewise, renewable energy technologies including wind, solar, biomass and geothermal power and hydropower offer large opportunities to make positive contributions on all three issues.

Solar and wind energy account for a trivial proportion of current renewables about one third of one percentage point. The vast majority comes from biomass, or wood and plant material humanity s oldest energy source.

Indeed, dependence on wood biomass leads to massive felling of plant cover to satisfy domestic energy needs, so accelerating the process of deforestation and soil degradation.

(2) Production of biomass briquettes

And all the components are there which are now in common parlance, in our vocabulary, you know, 30 odd years later wind energy, recycling, biomass, solar cells.

Transfer of material, equipment and technology for renewable sources of energy including solar, nuclear and biomass to developing countries, on concessional and preferential terms, shall be ensured.

In that context, it emphasized that more efficient use of energy together with increased use of renewable energy, including biomass, wind and solar energy, should be considered as a major contributor to meeting that challenge, and that adaptation of technologies to the rural context would be necessary.

In recent years, large global companies have entered the markets for wind, solar and biomass technologies and the finance community is gradually mainstreaming renewable energy into their operations.

36. Transfer of material, equipment and technology for renewable sources of energy including solar, nuclear and biomass to developing countries, on concessional and preferential terms, shall be ensured.

Regarding energy as a substantive topic, it was considered vital to take into account a number of pertinent issues, such as the uneven distribution of fuel and energy resources, the interactive management of energy, energy savings, the problems related to biomass sources from contaminated forests and the need for a total energy system, and the special needs of small island countries.

A biomass utilization constituting 15 per cent of the energy balance is the highest among countries of the Organisation for Economic Co operation and Development (OECD) and non fossil fuels in total represent about 35 per cent of the energy balance.

And the biomass this is the most spectacular change 4.5 times greater biomass on average, just after five to seven years.

We have more sharks, more biomass of snappers, more biomass of herbivores, too, like these parrot fish that are like marine goats.

This is what we call the biomass pyramid.
