ProjectQR

A Dual Approach to Climate Action

ProjectQR is reshaping the environmental conservation space by addressing the disillusionment with traditional ecosystems. These are most often dened by the clash between mission-driven goals and capitalism.

The Role of Bioma in Achieving Renewable Energy Goals

Biomassenergyissourcedfrom productsthatcanbereplenished.In thisregard,suchmaterialsinclude agriculturalresidues,forestrybyproducts,andevenmunicipalsolid waste.Thisformofenergycanbe producedthroughanyofthemethods listedbelow:directcombustion, gasification,andanaerobicdigestion. Allthesaidmethodshavemerits,and theirapplicationscanbeappropriate forspecifiedneeds.

Probablythemostobviousapproachis directcombustion,wherebiomassis combustedtogenerateheator electricity.Gasificationtransforms biomassintoagasthatcanbeusedto provideheatorrunengines.Anaerobic digestionbreaksdownorganicmatter intheabsenceofoxygen;thisproduces biogas,whichcanbeusedtogenerate heatorelectricity.Alltheseexamples illustratetheflexibilityofbiomass.
