Biomass, Wheelabrator Shasta Power Plant

This 50 megawatt biomass power plant located in Anderson, California, runs on residues produced by nearby companies in the forest products industry. The growth and harvesting of trees can, in the future, provide a replenishable source of fuel for electricity generation. This 50 megawatt station currently burns wood chips prepared from wood waste directly. A gasifier that will use the fuel more cleanly and more efficiently is presently being tested. Biomass is biological material derived from living, or recently living organisms. It most often refers to plants or plant-based materials which are specifically called lignocellulosic biomass. As an energy source, biomass can either be used directly via combustion to produce heat, or indirectly after converting it to various forms of biofuel. Conversion of biomass to biofuel can be achieved by different methods which are broadly classified into: thermal, chemical, and biochemical methods.
