Environmental AppealEnvironmental Appeal
• Utilises solar energy and converts some of it into biomass –a versatile fuel
• Removes some CO2 from the atmosphere in the process.
• Provides habitat for native species
• Multiple products when harvested
![Page 17: 1 Alternative Energy Sources Delivered on to: Bill Pyke Hilbre Consulting Limited October 2012 Generating ‘Green’ Electricity.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649dd25503460f94ac962f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

DisadvantagesDisadvantages
• Ensuring Continuous supply
• Carbon neutral ?? Transport costs
• Drying to specification is energy-intensive
Biomass moisture content often 40-60%, needs to be 10-15%
• Storage Issues
• Impurities and toxins
• Safety devices are necessary

OptionsOptions
• Dedicated Biomass Gasification and co-combustion / direct combustion
• CHP Biomass Generate electricity and heat
• Co-fire biomass with coal in existing conventional power stations allows substitution of 10-15% of fossil fuels in U.K., Belgium, Netherlands and Poland

Wind CHPWind CHP
• Good in areas of wind speeds >10m/sec
• Performance band width from 4 to about 15m/sec wind speed,
• Nominally rated at 1kW at a given wind speed of 12 m/sec
• net effect is a potential saving of up to 30% overall against the UK average 'domestic' electricity bill e.g. 3,200 kWh per annum

Pumped StoragePumped Storage
• Hydro capacity is normally applied to peak-load demand
• Pumped Storage currently provide the most significant means of storage of energy on a scale useful for a utility, allowing low-value generation in off-peak times
• Operation of pumped-storage plants improves the daily load factor of the generation system-can be as low as 40% without pumped storage

AdvantagesAdvantages
• Clean No sulphur, nitrous oxides or particulates. Low CO2 and methane.
• Renewable energy with security of (electrical) energy supply
• Low operating costs, low maintenance
• Large reservoirs can be used for other purposes; fish stocks etc
• Flood control

DisadvantagesDisadvantages
• High front-end capital costs deters many investors Long payback period
• Large projects have led to elimination of agricultural land-use with displacement of population and homes
• Submergence of arable land leads to methane and CO2 emissions
• Potential for dam bursts. Over 200 in 20th century
• Possible negative environmental impacts both upstream and downstream of plant. Silt build-up
• Barriers to fish migration
