Biomass waste products are diverse and can be utilized in various ways to contribute to a circular economy.
5 Key Categories of Biomass Waste Products
Agricultural Residues
Agricultural residues are materials left over from farming activities. Examples include corn stalks, rice husk, coffee shell, olive seed, and peanut shell. These residues can be used as a source of biomass for energy production. They can also be processed into other products.
Forest Residues
Forest residues include wood logs, wood chips, tree bark, sawdust, tree branches, and bamboo. These materials are typically derived from forestry operations. They can be used directly as biomass fuel. They can also be processed into other forms of energy.
Industrial Wastes
Industrial waste in the context of biomass includes sewage sludge. Sewage sludge can be converted into biogas through anaerobic digestion. Anaerobic digestion is a biological process that produces methane. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that can be used as a fuel.
Solid Waste
Solid waste includes organic waste and garden waste. These materials are often collected from urban areas. They can be composted or used to generate biogas.
Biomass Pyrolysis Products
During biomass pyrolysis, several by-products are generated.
- Biomass Charcoal: This is discharged directly by a water-cooling discharger. It can be used as a fuel or in various industrial processes.
- Tar: Collected in tanks, tar is a thick, black, viscous liquid. It can be further refined for use in various industries.
- Wood Vinegar: Also collected in tanks, wood vinegar has applications in agriculture and as a wood preservative.
- Biogas: This is collected in tanks or used directly to heat the pyrolysis chamber. Biogas primarily consists of methane and carbon dioxide. It is a valuable renewable energy source.
