摘要
The aim of biomass development projects is to identify whether it is possible to utilize biomass in the energy production sector by substituting a portion of conventional fuel by biomass to perform combined combustion. Electricity production from biomass has been found to be a promising method in the near future. The world production of biomass is estimated at 146 billion metric tons a year, mostly wild plant growth. Biomass accounts for 35% of primary energy consumption in developing countries, raising the world total to 14% of primary energy consumption. In the future, biomass has the potential to provide a cost-effective and sustainable supply of energy, while at the same time aiding countries in meeting their greenhouse gas reduction targets. By the year 2050, it is estimated that 90% of the world population will live in developing countries.
