While improvements in wind and solar have made recent headlines Authentic Jeff Green Jersey , modern bioenergy has the potential to become the most important source of growth in renewable energy use over the next 30 years according to Ecotech Alliance.
Biomass and Bioenergy is a renewable, low carbon fuel that is already widely available throughout the world. Properly managed, biomass is a sustainable fuel that can provide a major reduction in net carbon emissions when compared with fossil fuels. Biomass and Bioenergy has quickly become an essential role in the global renewable energy mix and today it accounts for 13% of the world’s total final energy consumption.
Biomass energy resources are readily available in both rural and urban areas and offers tremendous opportunities for all countries, particularly those countries with significant biomass resources that may have limited amounts of fossil fuels.
Biomass-based industries are providing diversified employment opportunities and promote biomass re-growth through sustainable land management practices. Its production and use also brings environmental and social benefits.
Biomass and Bioenergy can play a key role in reducing the dependence on fossil fuels by making use of thermo-chemical conversion technologies. With the development of efficient biomass handling technology, enhancement of agro-forestry systems and establishment of small and large-scale biomass-based power plants can also play a major role in rural development. Biomass energy could also aid in modernising of the agricultural economy.
When compared with wind and solar energy, biomass plants are able to provide crucial, reliable base load generation. As an example Biomass and Bioenergy crops such as Ecotech Alliance’s bio feedstock can provide fuel diversity, which in turn can protect communities from the volatility of fossil fuels prices.
Bioenergy crops can also enhance carbon sequestration as short-rotation crops established on abandoned agricultural or marginal land can help accumulate and improve carbon in the soil for land regeneration.
Since biomass can be grown and harvested as a locally produced energy fuel, biomass power greatly reduces a countries dependence on foreign energy sources and can add to the security of its energy requirements.
With robust markets for solid biomass fuels such as pellets or briquettes, which are a bio product formed from compressed wood or agricultural residue feedstock’s that are being used as fuel for heating and co-firing with coal power plants, can greatly contribute to emission reduction targets.
In Asia, Ecotech Alliance cultivates short term rotation crops like Napier grass and Kenaf which can help utilities meet their carbon emission targets for electricity production. The integration of biomass-fuelled gasifiers in coal-fired power stations could also be advantageous in terms of improved flexibility in response to fluctuations in biomass availability and lower investment costs.
The continued growth of the bioenergy industry can be further supported by more companies and governments acting to promote the advantages and endless possibilities biomass and bioenergy can bring, through the increase of marketing of Biomass and Bioenergy proven applications and technologies.

LONDON, Aug. 18 (Xinhua) -- China's natural beauty, incredible generosity and infrastructure miracle impressed British politician Lord Michael Bates, whose 71-day walk in China raised over British 90,000 pounds (about 116,000 U.S. dollars) for the Red Cross Society of China.
"What impressed me most about the walk in China was the natural beauty of the areas in which we walked through places like the Tai mountains and Qufu for example," Bates, who is also minister of state at the Department for International Development and member of the House of Lords, said in a recent interview with Xinhua.
"There was also the incredible generosity of the people we met along the way. Over 700 people joined us at various stages of the 71-day walk and it was great to share the experience with them," Lord Bates said.
In 2015, Lord Bates walked 1,700 km from Beijing to Hangzhou, where his Chinese wife Li Xuelin was born. He wrote the experience in his book "Walk for Peace: Transcultural Experiences in China" which was published in March 2017.
In the conclusion of his book, Bates said walking is a good way to see national infrastructure and he considers infrastructure in China is impressive. "The road surfaces I walked along were of an extremely high standard."
"Roads, especially the local roads I was walking on are only a small part of the infrastructure miracle in China," he said.
He said he is not surprised by such an epic infrastructure development in China and China's civil engineers as well as construction companies are now in demand around the world.
"China sets its sights on 2049 and the centenary of the founding of the People's Republic by which time it expects to be the leading economy in the world. Few would now doubt that it is on track to achieve this with time to spare," he said.
"When I was young, I used to want to be something -- an MP (Member of Parliament), a minister. But as I get older, I realize that the greater responsibility is not to be but to do. This is why I walk," said Bates, explaining the reason for him to start walking.
Recalling his walk in China, Bates said the motivation for the walk in China was simply that "we had received so much support from China for our previous walks from London to Berlin and London to Northern Ireland, we wanted to do something for China."
He said the route between Beijing and Hangzhou seemed to fit well, and 2015 was also the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II, in which China and Bri.
