What Is the Cost of Biomass Feedstock Energy?

Biomass feedstock energy can be made cost competitive with fossil fuels like gasoline, diesel, oil, natural gas and coal. Using biomass feedstocks like rapeseed oil and used fryer oil can help lower the cost of biomass conversion, and so can the location and an efficient design of the facilities. This will bring the cost of biomass feedstocks energy down to a level which is competitive with other energy sources. When the environmental benefits are added in, biomass waste to energy and fuel is a good idea, but the financial costs need to be lowered before this form of energy becomes widespread.

Different Clean Air Technologies

Wind is a renewable energy source that emits no pollution. It is the fastest-growing “green” energy in the U.S. and provides light to the Statue of Liberty. Wind farms—clusters of huge windmills—produce electricity by using the motion of their blades to spin a shaft connected to a generator. Experts estimate that the electricity created in 2006 by America’s wind farms will displace some 15 million tons of carbon dioxide. Over five million acres of forest would be needed to absorb that much CO2. Some people oppose wind farms because they occupy large tracts of land and can sometimes harm birds, but most agree that their environmental costs are much lower than those of fossil fuels.
