Biomass

Biomass is the general name for organic matter derived from living, or recently living organisms. Biomass is an energy source and in industrial context, Biomass is about generating fuel from this organic matter or use of it for other industrial purposes.

If we look at biomass sources carefully, we will see that those sources are everywhere in our lives. For example; wood, oilseeds such as sunflower and soybean, wheat straw, nutshell, agricultural waste, tea waste, olive pit and pulp, waste papers, domestic organic waste such as rind of fruits and vegetables, herbs, other herbal wastes such as stems and roots, algae, scats, fertilizers and industrial waste, waste water treatment plant mud are all sources for Biomass.

Biomass, which has been used for traditional and mainly in domestic heating, is now utilized in power generation and, as a by-product, as fertilizer (solid/liquid) thanks to advanced process technologies. With the public incentives given to Biomass investments, Biomass has entered into a period of development and its share is expected to increase in upcoming period.
