Biomass Energy

[edit]

Biomass is non-processed (raw) or processed organic material that possesses chemical energy.[1] According to the Ministry of Energy Infrastructures and Natural Resources of the Republic of Armenia,[2] the usage of biomass as a source of power or gas is not broad in Armenia. However, the potential of recieveing biogas is around 135 million meters cubed and the utilization process has already been initialized.[3]

[edit]
  • BBI International conducted country-wide research in Armenia. The aim of the study was to find optimal alternatives to the conventional bioethanol production.[4]
  • "Renewable Resources and Energy Saving National Program of RA" esitmated both technically and economically advantageous implementation of biogas production. [1]

Statistics

[edit]
  • The forecasts of biogas production in RA, from the "Renewable Resources and Energy Saving National Program of RA" esitmation.[5]
