Biomass yields

Biomass burning: efficiency and available power

e.g. 2kg municipal waste/person/day

Biomass burning: efficiency and available power

Output power = yield × energy density × mass density × burning efficiency Overall biomass efficiency = Power/Insolation Area = Needed power / Output power

Ex: -  wood in Sardinia: yield 10 m3(7 ton)/ha/year, energy density 5 kWh/kg (dry) - sorgo: yield 50ton/ha/year, energy density 5 kWh/kg (dry)
