Availability of Biomass Sources
• Sessional production.
• Other purpose of
production.
(Exportation)

WEAKNESSES of the BIOMASS

Environment Pollution
• Carbon that present in the global forest is as much as 296 Giga tonnes (Global
forest resources assessment, 2015).
• The forests are a sink for these carbons where the forest role in limiting the
exchange of carbon to the atmosphere.

Methane Gas
• Methane that producing bacteria under anaerobic digestion are the last link in a chain
of micro-organisms which degrade organic material and return the decomposition
products to the environment.

Requires Great Deal of Water
• To drive a turbine and generator, a biomass power plant would require a cooling
water system to condense steam.
• Is the largest water consumption of water usage at any thermoelectric power plant
• 400 to 700 gallons of water (per minute) are often required for each of the operation
system.
• Only produce one megawatt power.
• A biogas waste digester system for municipal waste sludge would typically require
about 30,000 gallons per day of water in addition to the more than 100,000 gallons
per day contained in the sludge feedstock.

Health Issues
• A significant number of the ecological issues related with gasification, for example,
tidy, clamour, smell, fly fiery remains, deplete gasses and tar, can cause a few
wellbeing related issues for people.
• Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulphur, nitrogen oxide, and so on.
• These gasses may cause lethal ailments like strokes, incessant obstructive aspiratory
sicknesses, ischemic heart ailments, bring down respiratory contaminations and
lung malignancy.
• The significant reasons for flame in gasification are related with so much exercises as
fuel stockpiling, fuel drying, start, development of a flammable blend amid bolster
readiness.
• The little ignitable strong particles from wood and coal can frame a touchy blend with
air.
• Can be controlled with HIRARC.
