Biomass is organic material that contains stored energy from the sun. Examples of biomass are wood, plants, garbage, alcohol fuels, and landfill gases. Deriving energy from biomass will help reduce the use of fossil fuels, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and reduce waste management problems. There are several ways to turn biomass into a useable energy:

* Biomass or bioenergy feedstocks are a renewable resource that can be burned to produce steam for generating electricity or providing heat. These processes are called Direct-fired or Conventional Steam Boilers. Industrial and Commercial business in the United States uses 81 percent of waste wood (bark, sawdust, wood chips, and wood scrap). PurePoint Energy can strategically help your business generate electricity and heat with biomass to meet the goals and objectives of your company.

* Bio Fuels are used in transportation. Today, ethanol and biodiesel are the most common types of biomass transportation fuel. Ethanol uses the sugar found in crops such as corn, wheat and sugar beats. Cellulosic Ethanol is a technology that creates a product that is chemically identical to ethanol. It's advantage lignocellulose, thus eliminating a fuel source that is in direct competition with food markets.

* Landfill sites generate gases as the waste buried in them undergoes anaerobic digestion. Landfill gas contains 50% methane. This gas can be harvested and burned in order to generate power, reducing emissions that would have been caused by environmentally problematic methane in the process. PurePoint Energy can help your waste collection facilities develop the plans for energy creation utilizing landfill power plants.
