Biomass, black carbon geothermal, and One Belt and One Road! May 3, 2021, 3:42 PM IST
According to a recent paper published in Energy Policy reports that a biomass resource model developed by a UK-based school shows “that indigenous biomass resources and energy crops could service up to 44% of UK energy demand by 2050 without impacting food systems”. It is not clear whether this model accounts for the black carbon emitted by biomass fuel and its impact on the climate. BBGs are intimately related! One is a source of energy and the other is a source of global warming!! Over centuries, civilizations used firewood, biomass, and dung cake to sustain lives. For both cooking and heating purposes, this was and is the cheap and easily available stock to humans.
