Introduction to Bio Energy
Bioenergy Section

Bioenergy refers to the energy derived from biological sources, such as plants, animals, and their byproducts. It plays a crucial role in the transition towards renewable energy, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reliance on fossil fuels. Key forms of bioenergy include biofuels, biogas, and biomass.

BioCBG (Compressed Bio Gas)

Bio-CBG is a form of biogas that is purified and compressed for use as a fuel. It is produced through the anaerobic digestion of organic materials such as agricultural residue, manure, municipal waste, and other biodegradable feedstocks.

Production Process

Organic waste is decomposed by bacteria in an oxygen-free environment, producing biogas primarily composed of methane and carbon dioxide.

Applications

BioCBG is used as a vehicle fuel, for heating, and for electricity generation. It can replace conventional natural gas in many applications.

Benefits

Reduces greenhouse gas emissions, helps manage waste, and can be produced from locally available feedstock, supporting energy security.

Ethanol

Ethanol is an alcohol-based biofuel typically produced by fermenting sugars from crops like corn, sugarcane, and other biomass. It is commonly blended with gasoline to produce fuel for vehicles.

Waste to Energy Section

Production Process

The biomass is first converted into sugars through enzymatic or chemical processes, followed by fermentation using yeast, which converts the sugars into ethanol and carbon dioxide.

Application's

Used as a fuel additive to reduce emissions, improve octane ratings, and decrease reliance on fossil fuels. E85 (85% ethanol, 15% gasoline) is a popular blend in some regions.

Benefits

Reduces greenhouse gas emissions, promotes energy independence, and supports agricultural economies.

Waste to Energy

Waste to Energy (WtE) involves converting non-recyclable waste materials into usable forms of energy, such as electricity, heat, or fuels. This is achieved through various processes like combustion, gasification, anaerobic digestion, and pyrolysis.

Combustion

Direct burning of waste to produce heat, which is then used to generate electricity.

Thermochemical Process

Gasification

Converts organic or fossil-based carbonaceous materials into carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide at high temperatures.

Anaerobic Digestion

Microbial process that breaks down organic material in the absence of oxygen, producing biogas and digestate.

Pyrolysis

Thermochemical decomposition of materials at elevated temperatures in the absence of oxygen.

Application's

Generates electricity and heat, produces biogas for fuel, and creates biochar as a soil amendment.

Benefits

Reduces landfill use, lowers greenhouse gas emissions, and recovers valuable energy from waste materials.
