Biomass in a sentence

Biomass combustion for electricity and heat offer a simple use for fibrous biomass and biomass waste that is more challenging to turn into biofuels.

Biomass can refer to species biomass, which is the mass of one or more species, or to community biomass, which is the mass of all species in the community.

Junjie Liu and colleagues found that whereas it took more than a year for aboveground biomass to recover, the Amazon's recovery from the total carbon loss, including belowground biomass and soil carbon, took even longer.

The firm purchases and processes tapioca, produces biomass gas from waste water and produces biomass gas from tapioca and Napier grass for a 5.6 megawatt power plant.

That biomass then moves to a biodigester—a device that uses microbes to turn biomass into biogas, which is then burned for heat and power.

Lignocellulose, or lignin, is ubiquitous in biomass, and yet it is highly-resistant to the chemical, biological, and other processes historically used for the conversion and refining of biomass into renewable products.

Apart from bacteria, the total live biomass on Earth is about 560 billion tonnes C, and the total annual primary production of biomass is just over 100 billion tonnes C/yr.

Biomass conversion technologies Valmet anticipates the increased importance of biomass as a raw material in many industries.

For example, a nitrogen-fixing crop, like a legume, should always proceed a nitrogen depleting one; similarly, a low residue crop (i.e. a crop with low biomass) should be offset with a high biomass cover crop, like a mixture of grasses and legumes.

Global biomass Estimates for the global biomass of species and higher level groups are not always consistent across the literature.

However, in oceans, biomass pyramids can be wholly or partially inverted, with more biomass at higher levels.

Aviva said Biomass UK No.2’s has always argued that the enforcement notice served on the Woodham Road plant is inaccurate and disproportionate.

Biomass is not “renewable” in a realistic timeframe.

Biomass stores carbon and can be turned into bio-based products and energy that can be used to improve soil, treat wastewater, and produce renewable feedstock.
