Bio-fuels By Rowena, Nicola and Zoe
What are Bio-fuels? Some of your everyday waste contains biomass, that can be burned to generate electricity. These are called bio-fuels.
Types of Bio-fuels There are various types of Bio-fuels such as: Dead trees Tree branches Yard clippings Left-over crops Wood chips Bark and sawdust Manure
The Cycle Biomass is collected by trucks. The trucks take the biomass to a power plant. This is then fed into a furnace where it is burned. The heat is used to boil water in the boiler, and the energy in the steam is used to turn turbines and generators.
Are Bio-fuels the solution for the future? Bio-fuels have some good and bad things about them. They are great because they are a renewable source of energy, but when they are burnt they produce a poisonous gas called methane. ?
Take it or leave it… Are bio-fuels the way forward? Will they affect global warming? or, Should we use another source of energy? It’s up to you to decide if bio-fuels are for you… ?
