We are living in such a time today that our ozone layer has been damaged seriously. The rise in global warming and pollution is making the world a dangerous place. The effect on ozone layer has increased the global conditions such as the gradual melting of the glaciers is a serious issue. These glaciers are melting at a fast speed and we seriously need to think how to cut down on our pollution. The effect of global warming has already started to take place as you can notice that the summers which were not that warm twenty years back, now the summers are actually hot and we don't know how much more effect is going to take place.
Scientific researchers have conducted a research based on biomass energy. Biomass is usually made up of plants and animals waste. We cannot have more natural and safe way of using any other method other than biomass. Biomass has serious advantages for humans and for saving the earth from the harsh global warming. The great quality about producing biomass energy is that is it does not require much amount of fossil fuel to burn and produce great energy such as heat, steam and electricity.
Biomass energy is also called renewable energy because the carbon dioxide which emerges out of the burning process goes into the atmosphere and absorbed by the plants, this also makes the photosynthesis process of the plants easy and the plants are the renewable source of energy as well.
When we talk about biomass we must know that it is made up of anything which was and is still in being, such as dead plants and animals, even humans are a source of biomass. Biomass is also called carbon neutral because it has such properties when it burns, so there is no chance of increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Many bio fuels products can be produced from agriculture and forest products. Products such as woods, pieces of woods, and straws, other plants roots and waste are also a source to produce biomass energy.
Biomass energy can be cost effective to produce because there is no such new technology which produces biomass energy at a low cost rate than other forms of fuel and energy. As the world is moving fast and the increase in technologies is speeding up, the way to utilize and make cheap biomass energy will be available soon. We can hope that we use the sources of biomass energy because of its many advantages.
Many researches are being conducted to apply biomass energy in different fields, the government and the whole world should really enforce the use and production of biomass energy because eventually it is to the advantage of human beings only that can survive easily in this world. Biomass energy will not affect and damage the ozone layer as the other form of fuels and energy do and this is very necessary to keep in mind.
