QUESTION : what is biomass with relation to class10 science

ANSWER : The fuel developed from natural and organic materials or wastes, which are a renewable and sustainable source of energy is known as Biomass.

Few types of fuels used to generate biomass are –

a) Scrap Lumber

b) Woody construction and Forest debris (Wood waste, sawmill waste, green waste from landfills and other vegetative)

c) Certain agricultural crops and wastes

d) Manure

e) Animal waste

f) Ethanol waste

g) Municipal solid waste (sewage sludge or other landfill organics)

h) Landfill gas

i) Other industrial waste (i.e. paper sludge from paper recycling processes)

For generating biomass, often the energy sources are thought to be limited to plant wastes but that’s not the case. Even animal-derived materials are used for biomass generation. Biomass is the prime building block of biofuels, highly used for electricity production to produce heat in the context of energy, as an alternative to fossil fuels.

The chemical composition of Biomass – Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen along with nitrogen and alkali atoms, heavy metals and alkaline earth.

Answer 2

Bio-Mass

Plant and animal wastes (dung), vegetable wastes, sewage are decomposed in absence of oxygen to produce Biogas

Since the source of these fuels is animal dung, the source of these fuels is called Biomass.

It is commonly called Gobar-gas
