A study explores using #vetiver grass on floating treatment platforms to enhance #stormwater pollutant removal. Vetiver’s resilience and pollutant absorption significantly improved water quality. The harvested biomass was successfully converted into #biochar and #ethanol, promoting sustainable stormwater management and #circulareconomy practices. https://lnkd.in/gdWxQcKY

🌿 Why is biomass our top choice for sustainable heating? 🌿 At Fumis, we believe that biomass, especially wood pellets, is the key to a cleaner, greener future. Using waste from sustainable forestry, pellets offer a renewable energy source that not only reduces carbon emissions but also helps promote energy independence. 🌍 Pellets are an efficient, eco-friendly alternative to fossil fuels, making them a smart choice for environmentally-conscious homes and businesses. However, as demand rises across Europe, the pellet market is facing increased pressure, highlighting the need for innovative solutions that maximize efficiency and reduce waste. By leveraging smart combustion control, we can help ensure that pellets deliver maximum performance, making the most of every resource. Biomass offers a reliable, sustainable path forward—and we’re proud to support its growth with our cutting-edge technology. Let’s keep pushing toward a more sustainable, smarter heating future. 🔥 #BiomassEnergy #SustainableHeating #WoodPellets #RenewableEnergy #PelletHeating #FumisByAtech

🌿 Bioenergy: Turning Waste into Wealth 🌿 How is #Bioenergy transforming waste into valuable energy? ♻️🔋 💡 What it is: Bioenergy is produced from organic materials like agricultural waste, forestry residues, and even municipal solid waste. It can generate electricity, heat, and biofuels. 🌟 Advantages: 🔺Renewable: Utilizes waste materials that would otherwise decompose. 🔺Carbon Neutral: The CO2 released during bioenergy production is offset by the CO2 absorbed during the growth of the biomass. 🔺Waste Management: Reduces landfill use and methane emissions. 🔍 Challenges: 🔺Resource Availability: Requires a consistent supply of biomass. 🔺Land Use: Competes with land for food production if not managed sustainably. 📊 Fact: According to the International Energy Agency, bioenergy could meet about 17% of global energy demand by 2050. ❓What role do you think bioenergy should play in our energy future? #SustainableEnergy #Bioenergy #WasteToEnergy #TheEnergySpace

Biomass is a sustainable energy source that is produced from organic materials including wood, waste from agriculture, animal dung, and municipal solid waste. It is one of the oldest energy sources and is widely used in cooking and heating. In today's topic, we will look at how biomass technologies have grown in popularity as businesses and governments shift to more environmentally friendly energy sources. Using technology such as pyrolysis and anaerobic digestion with #carbon capture techniques makes biomass usage more save and sustainable. #biomass #emrc #energy #insights

🌱 Just wrapped up an inspiring session at the European Bioenergy Future 2024 Conference where we tackled a crucial question: How do we maximize biomass potential while protecting our planet? Key takeaway: We're sitting on untapped circular economy opportunities. While everyone's competing for biomass resources, we're overlooking massive potential in our own backyards - literally! Consider this: • Food waste from our restaurants and homes • Municipal organic waste from our cities These resources are not just waste - they're valuable biomass feedstock waiting to be transformed. The real challenge isn't scarcity; it's smart resource management. What struck me most was the emphasis on regenerative approaches. We need to: 1. Preserve biodiversity while harvesting biomass 2. Ensure sustainable extraction rates 3. Close the loop in biomass utilization 4. Create value from "waste" streams The future of biomass isn't just about using what we have - it's about reimagining what we consider waste.

🇬🇧 On Thursdays, we talk about biomass! Today, we are focusing on 🟫 AGRIPELLET 🟫. Agripellets are pellets made from agricultural residues like straw, pruning waste, nutshells, and corn leftovers, offering an alternative to traditional wood pellets. Their raw material comes from agricultural waste, reducing disposal needs and promoting a circular economy. Although the energy content of agripellets is generally lower compared to wood pellets, they can still provide good caloric efficiency, depending on the quality of the material used. Agripellets are an interesting resource in the renewable energy sector, as they utilize local agricultural materials and reduce dependence on fossil energy sources. In doing so, they contribute to environmental sustainability and optimize agricultural residues, enhancing the value of resources that would otherwise go unused. 📍 We have plants that work with agripellets.

Biomass is a major source of cooking energy in Rwanda. This high dependence on biomass strongly contributes to forest degradation, biodiversity loss, and atmospheric pollution. Shifting from the traditional three-stone stove (TSS) to improved cooking stoves (ICS) is being promoted to reduce wood consumption and air pollutant emissions. The results show that using ICS would result in an estimated annual saving of 149,313 tons of firewood corresponding to 0.7 m3 of wood, leading to an annual equivalent reduction of 0.02 ha of forest per household and 7167 ha of forest in the EP. The KPT results show that using ICS reduced CO2 emissions by 0.372 tons per household per year and by 111,088 tons of CO2 in the EP. ICSs have been shown to enhance fuelwood efficiency, leading to reduced forest degradation.

Biomass is pivotal in circular economy models as a versatile and renewable resource. It embodies the principles of sustainability and resource efficiency by serving multiple functions within the circular economy framework. Biomass can be harnessed for energy production, transformed into bio-based materials, and utilized in a wide array of applications, thus contributing to waste reduction, carbon sequestration, and the development of sustainable supply chains. When managed responsibly, biomass supports the circular economy's goal of minimizing waste, reducing dependence on finite resources, and encouraging a more environmentally conscious and sustainable economic system. Thus, sustainable biomass production, harvesting practices, responsible land use, and biodiversity conservation are essential to prevent adverse environmental impacts. #biomass #circulareconomy #sustainable #biodiversity #environment #bioenergy

In my opinion this method of producing hydrogen should be pushed & backed by government as it gets rid of waste while producing hydrogen. true circular economy & everyone benefits from it. Great work 👏 👏 #hydrogensafe #hydrogenenetgy #sustainability
