Looking to venture into the realm of renewable energy resources? Biomass electricity is an attractive option you should strongly consider. Here's why:
It allows you to recycle wasteDo you run a paper or wood mill? If so, while you're creating your products, you're generating a lot of waste along the way. Where is that waste going? Chances are it's packing a landfill somewhereout of sight, out of mind. However, if it's in a landfill, it's polluting our environment.
Did you know that waste byproducts are often the ideal source for biomass fuels? With a proper system installed, you can use your waste to produce your own biomass electricity on-site. That means you can be completely self-sufficient. You might even produce enough power to sell!
It's much cleaner than standard electricityWhen you burn coal, you release dangerous carbon dioxide into the air in large quantities. However, when you burn biomass fuels, you're actually recycling carbon dioxide. The result? A much cleaner-burning source of power, which leads to cleaner air.
Why do you want to produce cleaner power? Well, your company's public perception is one of many reasons. When your customers see you opting for sustainability, they'll begin to view you as a caring company. As a result, you build a more loyal customer base.
It's more reliable than other green energy sourcesPerhaps you're considering another renewable power source, maybe wind or solar energy? Just remember, they're unreliable. You can't always predict how much wind you're going to get. And with cloud cover and inefficient means of power storage, you certainly can't depend on the sun for power.
But when it comes to biomass electricity, fuel sources are almost limitless. All you need is to hire a professional to help you identify your source for biomass fuels. Make sure these fuels are available in your area at economical prices, and you have yourself reliable renewable energy.
You don't need a new plantWant to capitalize off biomass energy but don't want to build a new power plant? No problem. Did you know you can install a co-firing system in the power plant you already have? You can even use the same boiler. Sure, it won't allow you to produce 100 percent biomass energy, but you can produce up to 20 percent, which will allow you to cut down on noxious fumes, utilize the waste you produce, and meet changing standards the federal government is imposing for renewable energy.
It's up and comingLet's face it"going green" is in vogue. But it's much more than just a fly-by-night fad. In fact, all things are moving toward being more sustainable and there's no end in sight. So you have an option. Wait until the last minute and try to jump on board. Or get in early and invest in biomass electricity. Obviously, the second choice presents a much better option.
So if you're looking to create your own energy, choose a reliable, cost-effective option. Biomass power is clean and green. And you (and the world) stand to benefit from its many advantages.
