Biomass energy refers to the energy form of solar energy stored in biomass in the form of chemical energy, that is, energy using biomass as a carrier. It is derived directly or indirectly from the photosynthesis of green plants and can be converted into conventional solid, liquid and gaseous fuels and is a renewable energy source.
Biomass energy can exist in the form of biogas, compression molded solid fuel, gas production through gasification, electricity generation through gasification, fuel alcohol production, production of biodiesel by thermal cracking, etc., and is used in various fields of the national economy.
Biomass refers to organic matter derived from living organisms, including crop straw, wood, grass and wood chips, etc. It is renewable, sustainable and emits low emissionsof carbon. In recent years, with the improvement of environmental awareness and the depletion of fossil fuels, biomass has been increasingly used in the chemical industry. Here are some applications of biomass in the chemical industry:
1. Biomass energy production
Biomass energy refers to energy converted directly or indirectly from biomass, including biomass fuel, biomass gas and the biomass. liquid, etc. Biomass energy not only has the characteristics of renewable and low-carbon energy, but also can replace fossil energy and reduce carbon emissions and environmental pollution. At present, biomass energy is widely used in power generation, heat supply, industrial production and other fields.
2. Production of products cbio-based chemicals
Bio-based chemicals refer to chemicals produced from biomass as a raw material, including bio-based plastics, bio-based coatings, chemicals of biological origin. fertilizers, etc. Compared to traditional chemicals, bio-based chemicals are renewable, degradable, emit low carbon emissions and cause less environmental pollution. At present, bio-based chemicals are widely used in packaging materials, construction materials, agricultural production and other fields.
3. Production of biodegradable materials from biomass
Biodegradable materials refer to degradable materials made from biomass materials, including biodegradable plastics, biodegradable paper andbiodegradable materials, etc. Biodegradable materials are renewable, degradable, emit low carbon emissions and cause less environmental pollution. At present, biodegradable materials are widely used in food packaging, daily necessities, medical equipment and other fields.
IV. Biomass extract production
Biomass extract refers to an extract made from the active ingredients of biomass, including lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose. Biomass extracts have a wide range of applications, including food additives, medicines, cosmetics, biomass materials, etc.
In short, biomass is increasingly used in the chemical industry. It can not only replace fossil energy and reduce carbon emissions and environmental pollution, but also produces chemicals and materials that are more environmentally friendly and more sustainable. With the continuous advancement of technology, the application prospects of biomass in the chemical industry will expand.
