Biomass is our future!
By: Esther Lim

Why do we need a new source of energy?

We really need a new face of an energy source. The one we are currently using the most often, which would be coal is causing many problems to the earth. Our beautiful earth will be polluted with the gas and coal is running out! We do not want to suddenly run out of coal! We use coal every single day even if you may not notice which makes it a very important source of energy.

Furthermore, we do not want to rely on other places who have more advantage of coal to provide us with coal in our case, the west. We want to be able to rely on ourselves and not on the east to  provide us with energy. It is not fair for some locations to have more advantage than others. Those locations might take advantage of the fact that they have more coal than others to lure us into doing something we don't want to.

So much pollution is created by using coal that we are ruining the habitats of some animals who have done nothing wrong. Do we really want to cause harm to these poor, innocent creatures? We need to take responsibility for what we have done. So, we can start by starting to use biomass! A new source of energy that will be of our benefit so that we will be able to save animals, rely on ourselves, and never run out of energy.

The picture on the left is showing how biomass is made. It is created by using the gasification process. So basically what happens is, ​
  • Goes through combustion.
  • Goes through reduction.
  • Made into gas.
  • Goes through a boiler.
  • The steam is brought into a turbine.
  • Goes into a generator.
  • Transmitted into electricity and distributed out to fill our needs.
