Biomass in the change of timeBiomass is in the present seen as a supplier for energy, but this will change in the future to a supplier of raw material requiring energy for processing.
It is possible to produce 1.8 kWh per m² maize. To produce 300 TWh, half of the German electric power usage, are 166.667 km² surface necessary, only half of Germany, but it's also only half of the electric power supply.
Energy from biomass had been for 1 billion frugal humans, but not for 6 billion and more. To see biomass as a energy supplier is untenable nonsens. As we free ourselves more early from this illusion, all the more we will recognize what we really need for our future energy supply. Enough photovoltaic for all the electric power necessary for the processing of the biomass to valualble final products. |
