Wood is still the largest biomass energy resource today. Other sources include food crops, grassy and woody plants, residues from agriculture or forestry, oil-rich algae, and the organic component of municipal and industrial wastes. Biopower technologies convert renewable biomass fuels into heat and electricity using one of three processes
Biogas energy use in Nigeria: current status, future prospects and
Nigeria is an energy resource rich country blessed with both fossil fuels such as crude oil, natural gas, coal, and renewable energy resources like solar, wind, biomass, biogas, etc. Similarly, Nigeria is also human resource rich with a total population of 88.5 million by the 1991 population census, and an annual population growth rate of about
The current and emerging renewable energy technologies for
Currently, hydropower is the major renewable energy source that is integrated into the national grid [76]. An example of biomass project in Nigeria is the 5.5 MW biomass plant in Abakaliki for electricity generation from rice husks and other wastes [87] by Ebonyi State government. This is expected to supply reliable electricity to the
Biomass (energy)
In the context of energy production, biomass is matter from recently living (but now dead) organisms which is used for bioenergy production. Examples include wood, wood residues, energy crops, agricultural residues including straw, and organic waste from industry and households. [1] Wood and wood residues is the largest biomass energy source today. Wood

There are huge amounts of wastes generated
Biomass
Biomass is a semi-renewable energy resource that comes from plants and animals. We categorize this resource as semi-renewable because it has to be carefully managed to ensure we are not using it faster than it can be replenished.
