Bioenergy production and monitoring - an eBook

Supplied by SICK on Friday, 29 May, 2015


Bioenergy, produced by biomass and biogas combustion, is the world’s most common form of renewable energy production. It is a carbon-fuel energy source, but the difference when compared to coal and natural gas is that the fuel is captured from the earth’s biosphere, making it a carbon-neutral process if the fuel is supplied from a renewable source.

Like coal-fired power generation however, the efficiency of the process needs to be monitored, as well as the range of toxic materials that can be released when burning organic materials and other waste.

In Australia, the use of bioenergy is relatively low compared to other parts of the world, but done correctly, with the right fuel sources and management, there is no reason it cannot take on a greater role in supporting our future energy needs.
