Characteristics

Biomass material properties and characteristics are quite varied, depending on the plant species, the nature of the resource material and its moisture content , which can range from around 10% for straw to even 95% for sewage sludge material (wet basis).

Technologies for biomass to energy conversions are largely determined by the fuel used, and each of them has specific requirements concerning dry matter content, shape, size, and particle consistency of the raw material.Other then the moisture content and the energy content, properties of biomass fuels are defined by their physical structure, weight, volume, density and ash content.
