Explain how methane can be generated from biomass.
Answers
When biomass is burned, it creates carbon dioxide and methane gas. Carbon dioxide is used for the environment, as it is cycled and other plants can use it. Also, methane gas can be used to create electricity. Methane can be used to burn as fuel and create heat. This can be used to turn turbines or create steam to make electricity. Burning methane doesn't create a lot of carbon dioxide, so it does not add to the amount of pollution in the earth.
Methane gas can also be used for heating homes and for cooking as well. It is used widely in different areas and has many uses. Since it is also a product of burning biomass, it can be recycled and utilized to its full capacity.
Also, methane can be found in compressed natural gas and then used as fuels for vehicles. It is more environmentally friendly than other gases which are made from fossil fuels, since it does not emit as much carbon dioxide and other harmful gases
