Along with ‘green energy’ and ‘carbon neutral or renewable fuels’ the phase sustainable energy is a term often used. Sustainability simply refers to whether it is possible to manage the energy requirements without damaging the environment or the economy. For example wood is a renewable fuel, as you can grow more trees. However if we only used wood for energy we would consume the trees faster than they can grow, therefore this is not sustainable.

So sustainability refers to the fuel resource its self, however the process of harvesting and processing the fuel also has to be sustainable. Larger scale harvesting and possessing cannot economically process small quantities of biomass fuel resources. As raw biomass material transportation due to its low bulk density is very expensive, and excessive transportation is also very bad for the environment.

Small-scale pellet production is an economical and sustainable way to utilize relatively small quantities of local biomass resources. Raw material and pellet transportation is dramatically reduced, and it produces more local jobs.

Large-scale production is always needed to fulfil the demands of the majority. However it does have limitations, and gaps in its ability to fully utilize available resources. This is where small-scale production can make full use of the local resources, which in many cases improves local land management and reduces waste issues. What must be acknowledged is that our new energy future is composed of several technologies, including wind, solar and biomass to name but a few, and both small and large-scale operations.

There are many different types of renewable energy, which will all play a part in our renewable energy future. Biomass is one form of renewable energy, so is wind, solar, hydro and geothermal. Each one of these renewable energies has specific advantages and disadvantages. For example wind and solar provide free energy, however this energy is not always available. Hydro renewable energy via harnessing the energy from water movement again provides free energy, however is not always practical and is only possible in certain locations. Geothermal again is a constant free renewable energy source, however certain amounts of electrical energy are required to pump the water around the system. All these renewable energy solutions are needed to power our future, however biomass is slightly different.

Below is a video on the targets the European union have set on the use of renewable resources. It clear states the importance of renewable resources.

Biomass can be upgraded into solid fuels, for example pellets, and also liquid and gaseous fuels. Biomass is a renewable source because as long as more trees and plants are grown the fuel supply is renewable. Food production is even more important than fuel; therefore there are larger resources of biomass waste from food production. This can be in the form of wheat or barley straw, even down to the trimmings from olive and grape trees. So in terms of a renewable energy source could be purpose grown for or it could be utilizing waste, which is unlike other forms of renewable energy. And the simplest and most economical way on a small local scale to utilize these renewable resources are to upgrade them into pellets. Unlike the other renewable energy forms, a biomass economy could create more guaranteed jobs, as energy is always needed.

Today there are lots of ‘buzz’ words to summarise new ‘green’ energy forms. The main words used are carbon neutral, or ‘reducing your carbon footprint’. Firstly carbon footprint refers to how much carbon each person produces with their life style. So simply speaking you will have a larger carbon footprint if you drive to work instead of taking the train or walking or cycling.

Carbon Neutral refers more to our topic of biomass and fuel pellets, and how it is neutral in the carbon cycle. Using fossil fuels is using carbon, which was trapped underground, and through burning, releasing it into the atmosphere. Therefore fossil fuels are not neutral but carbon positive, increasing the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. Biomass is any plant matter, which uses carbon dioxide during the growth cycle, as long as more biomass resources are grown the process is regarded as neutral, and can be used to lower each person’s footprint.

Even though biomass its self is carbon neutral, carbon is used in the process of collecting, processing and transporting. So really it is not neutral but does have a low carbon output, however in the future it is possible to be neutral by only using renewable carbon neutral energy at each stage of the process. Everyone in the future will have to focus more on their own footprint as the world’s population continues to increase. The diagram below from bioenergy.org explains the neutral process.
