Different Ways of extracting energy<br />
from biomass -3<br />
This means that charcoal, which is half the weight of the original<br />
biomass, contains the same amount of energy making the fuel<br />
more transportable.<br />
The charcoal also burns at a much higher temperature than the<br />
original biomass, making it more useful for manufacturing<br />
processes.<br />
More sophisticated Paralysis techniques have been developed<br />
recently to collect the volatiles that are otherwise lost to the<br />
system.<br />
The collected volatiles produce a gas rich in hydrogen<br />
(a potential fuel) and carbon monoxide.<br />
These compounds, if desired, can be synthesized into methane,<br />
methanol and other hydrocarbons. 'Flash' Paralysis can be used to<br />
produce bio-crude – a combustible fuel.
