Biomass energy costs can vary significantly depending on several factors.
These factors include the specific method of conversion and the type of biomass used.
For example, a biomass pyrolysis plant can be purchased for as low as $30,500.
This price includes the capability to recycle combustible gas as fuel, which helps save on fuel costs.
Additionally, biomass energy offers economic advantages through its byproducts.
The gasification process can generate commodities with higher added value.
For instance, processing one ton of wood chips through pyrolysis and gasification can yield products like gas, charcoal, thin wood vinegar, and wood tar.
This process can generate a net benefit of approximately 920 yuan ($130 USD) per ton, excluding the cost of fuel.
Biomass energy is significant, accounting for about 5% of total U.S. primary energy consumption in 2021.
In 2021, a total of 4,835 trillion British thermal units (TBtu) were derived from various sources including biofuels, wood and wood-derived biomass, and biomass in municipal solid wastes.
The economic viability of biomass energy is further enhanced by the potential for increased added value.
For example, byproducts like charcoal can be processed into activated carbon or carbon-based fertilizer, which can more than double their value.
Moreover, the abundance of biomass resources in the United States is substantial.
Projections indicate that up to 1 billion dry tons could be available annually for energy use.
This availability is supported by anticipated improvements in agricultural practices and plant breeding.
These improvements highlight ongoing efforts to optimize biomass utilization for energy production.
