Abstract :
This paper reports the results of studies on energy production by using biomasses. The use of biomasses is encouraged worldwide due to the increasing prices of oil and natural gas and concern for pollution and CO2 emissions as well as to the possibility of using local resources and help local economies. Biomasses have been classified according to type and production chain. The main techniques for the energy transformation of biomasses are investigated and some practical examples are explained in details by means of a simplified tool. The paper outlines also a simplified energy planning of a district area.
