Biomass: The Ultimate Source of Bio Energy

Abstract

Growth of civilization with exponential increase in energy consumption through severe energy crisis has drifted the attention towards renewable resources. i.e. biomass .Most of the conversion processes either follow thermal route or biological route. Experiments were conducted in the laboratory with saw dust and wood chips as standard biomass to convert it into useful products This paper describes the different routes along with the experimental studies that have been undertaken towards achieving the goal of converting biomass into useful energy.
