What is the difference between Biomass and Biogas generated energy?
Biomass generated energy initially goes through pyrolysis and gasification process to generate a gas mixture that then is burned in a separate part of the same vessel to produce energy. All of the energy is generated from the biomass (solid organic matter) fed to the boiler system. Biogas generated energy initially gets released from a digestion process, in the presence of bugs, in a gas mixture form rich in methane. Subsequently this gas is treated and only then burned in order to extract the final energy content. The gas is generated at much lower temperature than in the biomass process.
