Educating ourselves on the BioMass Industry

As a wood biomass purchaser and supplier for Wisconsin, it is very important to learn as much as possible about what thermal energy, bio fuels, renewable resources and energy conservations are.


First, what is biomass? Biomass Fuel is natural organic matter used as a fuel, especially in a power station with a boiler for the generation of energy, electricity, and heat.


Here are a few things you may find interesting:
  • Biomasses biggest advantage is that it is sustainable and thus a renewable energy source deriving its energy from biological material. This means that we can produce more biomass fuel (i.e. cultivating specially designed crops or planting trees) to produce more biomass energy within a short period of time.
  • Biomass is one of the most plentiful and well-utilized sources of renewable energy in the world.
  • Modern biomass is used to produce power and heat in large-scale facilities: solid biomass, biogas, biofuel or biodiesel.
  • Using biomass as a fuel means that carbon dioxide (CO2) which was absorbed from the air while the plant was growing, is released back into the air when the fuel is burned. The system is said to be carbon neutral.
  • Biomass is the top candidate for oil equivalents, and indeed biodiesel has been getting more attention of late as a renewable and low-net-carbon method of fueling vehicles.
  • Biomass is considered to be one of the key renewable resources of the future at both small- and large-scale levels. It already supplies 14 % of the world’s primary energy consumption.

We hope to have our website available for more information by mid-February. Please visit www.tlbcompanies.com for more.

Contact us with any information you may have on availability of biomass fuels as we are always looking for new sources. Thanks!!
