Biomass Production and It's Utilization for Energy Requirement - In recent years, a great deal of research effort has been witnessed for increasing the production and utilization of biomass as a source of renewable energy.
The biomass is defined as living matter or its residues, which is a perpetual or a renewable source.
The common examples of biomass are wood grass, herbage, grains or bagasse.
The main sources of biomass can be classified in two groups: (i) waste materials including those derived from agriculture, forestry and municipal wastes; and (ii) growing energy crops involving short rotation forestry plantations
