21^st World Bioenergy Congress and Expo

Incineration, the combustion of organic material such as waste with energy recovery, is the most common implementation. All new plants in OECD countries incinerating waste must meet strict emission standards, including those on nitrogen oxides, Sulphur dioxide, heavy metals and dioxins. Hence, modern incineration plants are vastly different from old types, some of which neither recovered energy nor materials. Modern incinerators reduce the volume of the original waste by 95-96 percent, depending upon composition and degree of recovery of materials such as metals from the ash for recycling.

Green energy refers to natural energy sources that generate power with minimal pollution, including solar, wind, small-scale hydro, biomass, geothermal, wave, anaerobic digestion, and some forms of nuclear energy. Electricity from the grid may not always come from green sources, as utilities often mix fuel, nuclear, and renewable generation.

Biofuels are fuels derived from various types of biomass. First-generation biofuels are produced from sugars and vegetable oils in food crops, using conventional technologies, but they face limitations: large-scale production can impact food supply, biodiversity, and often requires subsidies. Their greenhouse gas savings are also limited, and life-cycle emissions can approach those of fossil fuels. Advanced biofuels, made from lignocellulosic biomass, woody crops, agricultural residues, or waste, overcome many of these issues. They offer the potential for sustainable, cost-effective fuel production at larger scales while providing greater environmental benefits. These biofuels also support energy security and can play a key role in reducing global dependence on fossil fuels. Continued research and innovation are essential to maximize their efficiency, sustainability, and adoption worldwide.

Biodiesel is a renewable, clean-burning diesel replacement that is reducing U.S. dependence on foreign petroleum, creating jobs and improving the environment. Made from a diverse mix of feedstocks including recycled cooking oil, soybean oil, and animal fats, it is the first and only EPA-designated Advanced Biofuel in commercial-scale production across the country and the first to reach 1 billion gallons of annual production. Meeting strict technical fuel quality and engine performance specifications, it can be used in existing diesel engines without modification and is covered by all major engine manufacturers’ warranties, most often in blends of up to 5 percent or 20 percent biodiesel. It is produced at plants in nearly every state in the country.

Bio-carbon liquid, biofuel and gas are the products of thermal decomposition of biomass. Gasification process is conducted to ordinary reactors or in reactors with a fluidal field. During hydrothermal gasification process, hydrogen energy, carbon oxide and some amount of methane and superior hydrocarbons are produced. Liquids derived from biomass resources such as ethanol and bio-oils can be reformed to produce hydrogen in a process similar to natural gas reforming. Biomass derived liquids can be transported more easily than biomass feed stocks. The bioenergy technology faces challenges in terms of technological assistance, economics and knowledge.

Energy and environment are co-related in the technological and scientific aspects including energy conservation, and the interaction of energy forms and systems with the physical environment. The levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide has increased by 31% between 1800 and 2000, going from 280 parts per million to 367 parts per million. Scientists predict that carbon dioxide levels could be as high as 970 parts per million by the year 2100. Different factors are responsible for this development, such as progress with respect to technical parameters of energy converters, in particular, improved efficiency; emissions characteristics and increased lifetime. Various environmental policies have been implemented across the globe for reduction of GHG emissions for improvement of environment.

Biomass plant material and animal waste IS used to create transportation fuels and generate electricity. Biomass energy is derived from plant-based material and solar energy has been converted into organic matter. Biomass can be used in a variety of energy-conversion process to yield power, heat, steam, and fuel. Biomass is used by food processing industries, animal feed industry, and wood products industry, which includes construction and fiber products (paper and derivatives), along with chemical products made from these industries that have diverse applications including detergents, bio fertilizers, and erosion control products. The biggest opportunity for the global bioenergy technology is the increasing demand for electricity across the world.

Renewable energy and energy efficiency are considered the “twin pillars” of sustainable energy policy, both aimed at stabilizing and reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Energy policies worldwide cover exploration, production, and consumption, involving industries from commodities and automotive to wind and solar energy, as well as business associations. Current research in energy economics focuses on climate change and policy, sustainable energy markets, infrastructure, environmental law, and the challenges of scaling renewable technologies, particularly in developing countries.

Climate change is the most significant challenge to achieving sustainable development, and it threatens to drag a huge number of individuals into grinding poverty. Climate change is just a long-term issue. It is going on today, and it involves instabilities for policy makers attempting to shape the future. Sustainability is no longer just a fashionable word. It is an organized way to achieving a holistic and triple bottom line growth. Apart from risk identification and mitigation, as well as a significant improvement in the efficiency of processes and systems for optimization of resources the other proven tangible and intangible benefits of sustainability include its positive impact on employees’ morale, an organization being recognized as an employer of choice, supply chains being motivated to adopt leading practices and consumers being educated on the importance of responsible behavior. After years of it being perceived as cost-centric, we are now finally realizing the true value-addition made by implementation of sustainability-related measures.

This new ‘agriculture strategy’ was put into practice for the first time in India in the Kharif season of 1966 and was termed HIGH-YIELDING VARIETIEIS PROGRAMME (HYVP). This programme was introduced in the form of a package programme since it depended crucially on regular and adequate irrigation fertilizers, high yielding varieties of seeds, pesticides and insecticides.

Renewable chemicals are derived from renewable feedstocks—such as microorganisms, plant, animal, and marine biomass, and agricultural raw materials—rather than fossil fuels. They find applications across multiple industries, including food processing, textiles, pharmaceuticals, transportation, hygiene, and environmental products. Common forms include ketones, alcohols, organic acids, and biopolymers, which are used in surfactants, lubricants, resins, plastics, and other eco-friendly materials.

Solar energy is derived from the sun, a natural and environmentally friendly source, and can be converted into thermal or electrical energy for various applications. It can also be used for fuel production through high-temperature processes, and energy can be stored for future use. The economics of solar energy vary by region, and solar panels provide an effective way to stabilize electricity costs while increasing property value in areas with abundant sunlight. Similarly, wind energy harnesses mechanical energy from the wind to generate electricity, offering a renewable, widely distributed, and low-emission alternative to fossil fuels. Wind farms, consisting of multiple turbines connected to the power grid, can produce large amounts of energy while occupying relatively small land areas.

Biomass is biological material derived from living or recently living organisms, most commonly plant-based materials known as lignocellulosic biomass. As an energy source, biomass can be used directly through combustion to produce heat, or converted into various biofuels via thermal, chemical, or biochemical methods. Wood remains the largest source of biomass energy, including forest residues, yard clippings, wood chips, and municipal solid waste. Biomass also encompasses plant or animal matter that can be processed into fibers, industrial chemicals, or biofuels. Industrial biomass can be cultivated from a wide range of plants such as miscanthus, switchgrass, hemp, corn, poplar, willow, sorghum, sugarcane, bamboo, and tree species like eucalyptus and oil palm. Biomass can ultimately be converted into usable energy forms, including methane gas, ethanol, and biodiesel.

The principle fuel used as a petroleum substitute is bioethanol. Bioethanol  is mainly produced by the sugar fermentation process, although it can also be produced by the chemical process of reacting ethylene with steam. The main source of sugar required to produce ethanol comes from fuel or energy crops. Bioethanol produces only carbon dioxide and water as the waster products on burning and the carbon dioxide released during fermentation and combustion equals the amount removed from the atmosphere while the crop is growing This fuel is not suitable for use in all cars and you should check compatibility with your vehicle manufacturer before using it.

Biomass is the organic matter derived from plants which is generated through photosynthesis. In particular it can be referred to solar energy stored in the chemical bonds of the organic material. In addition to many benefits common to renewable energy, biomass is attractive because it is current renewable source of liquid transportation of biofuel. The Bioenergy Conference and Biofuel Conferences will optimize and enhance existing systems. However, biomass could play in responding to the nation's energy demands assuming, the economic and advances in conversion technologies will make biomass fuels and products more economically viable? The renewable energy policies in the European Union have already led to a significant progress, energy mix should further change till 2030.

The process to convert biomass solid raw material to fuel gas or chemical feedstock gas (syngas) is called gasification. The discovery of organisms which are capable of higher product yield as metabolic engineering of microbial catalyst, will make this technology a viable option for reducing our dependency on fossil fuels. Different conversion methods are gas production, Pyrolysis, Anaerobic digestion, Bio refineries, Bioethanol production and sugar release from biomass. Production of energy crops could potentially compete for land with food cropping as demand for biomass increases. Biomass customers may be locked in long-term supply contracts with a single supplier making it difficult to get competitive pricing in the future.

Renewable energy is energy that is generated from natural processes that are continuously replenished. This includes sunlight, geothermal heat, wind energy, tides, water, and various forms of biomass. This energy cannot be exhausted and is constantly renewed. Biomass, is a renewable organic matter, and can include biological material derived from living, or recently living organisms, such as wood, waste, and alcohol fuels. Renewable Energy is normally defined as any energy resource’s that can be naturally renew or regenerated over a short time and which is directly derived from the sun (solar energy),indirectly from sun such as wind energy, hydropower energy, bioenergy ,or from other mechanisms of natural resources (geothermal energy, tidal energy). Renewable energy only includes energy derived from organic and natural resources it doesn’t include inorganic resources.

Bioenergy is conversion of biomass resources such as agricultural and forest residues, organic municipal waste and energy crops to useful energy carriers including heat, electricity and transport fuels. Biomass is increasingly being used for modern applications such as dendro-power, co-generation and Combined Heat and Power generation (CHP). Depending on the resource availability and technical, economic and environmental impact, these can be attractive alternatives to fossil fuel based applications. Bioenergy, a renewable energy resource particularly suitable for electricity, heating & cooling in transport, will be at the core of this sectorial shift in renewable energy production and use and is expected to become the dominant form of RES before 2020.
