Renewable energies: the return of biomass

[@MegaRotors]

Biomass for fuel is good in small amounts but not for mass fueling purposes. We can still have campfires, but we cannot cut down the rainforest to heat our homes every night.

[@jusjetz]

A perfect solution to convert not only into biofuels but to eliminate waste.

[@qwerth8662]

My computer doesn't have speakers so I turned on the captions. They were only there for part of the video. Good documentary but please put captions.

[@gabbercharles4513]

Thank you @Mathias, good video

[@Noukz37]

Thank you YT for recommending something useful. :-D But most of all thank you Matias and your team for making this amazing video, I learnt so much. I will re-watch it again soon. Very informative and in-depth yet objective and non-personal. Not sure about the nuclear mushroom tho. :-P

[@CaptainManic2010]

I'm not sure if this is just my mood today? But this was fucking brilliant. I'm so excited for our future. I do NOT believe climate change is compulsory. We have the fucking technology bro.

[@MSR-Saif]

Brilliant, the world has to harness renewable energy from all possible sources, in fact the future world will consume more energy to avail economic growth and better life, thanks.

[@Sofus.]

As a Dane, it is strange that I as a 40 year old guy. Can remember the first biomass power plant, being built in my village as a child. It's a little bit slow guys come on

Why no subtitles for the parts of the movie that are in French?

Just activate the subtitle! Can I do it for you automatically from youtube control pannel?

[@arterranrenewables7162]

Excellent video!

[@TalkTasteTeach]

I can use this in my classroom. Thank you very much.

[@mfyferling]

You are welcome, it is here on purpose!

[@thomascalias]

Very informative and interesting. But French-to-English translation of the interviews would have been nice! At least subtitles.

[@robinhyperlord9053]

How much energy per area per day?

[@margaret3883]

Wonderful video! Thank you!

[@jusjetz]

Have you all heard of industrial hemp?

[@bencrawshaw1227]

We need to start thinking of going more back to living within an ecological budget. Using only what the sun provides within any given year.

[@BerniniImpianti]

Could we share your video giving proper credit? it is very well done. Regards

[@EuroUser1]

If you share it through any of the tools that KZbin provides, there shouldn't be any problem.

[@mfyferling]

Of course you can! This vidéo has been paid with public money, for public use! ...sorry for my late answer.

[@willykitheka7618]

Very informative. Thanks

[@gogreenlocally]

Biomass only makes sense if using waste products. That is not the case now, especially with subsidies given out. Burning wood is releasing carbon into the air and any toxins that it absorbed from industries in the area. Bamboo, hemp, converted biosludge, and truly fast growing sources are a good alternative to using virgin forests.

[@chrisoliverdelacruz5347]

How about making Biomass Batteries?

[@EuroUser1]

It's not technically feasible, as far as I'm concerned. Not, at least, in a way that can outperform hydrogen.

[@EuroUser1]

How is this technology ageing? Has it been further implemented? Or has it been rendered obsolete by solar/wind/hydrogen?

[@aniketmestry8351]

Really this video gives knowledge about renewable energy and biomass

[@makmak]

could someone enlighten me on this? can plants be capable of producing carbon emmisions?

[@obraspelobrasil7951]

CO2 ? yes.

Some very interesting information in this video - thank you for making this and sharing it with the world! Unfortunately, most people don't seem to understand ecology and the long and short term carbon cycles, and how they affect our future. I don't know whether this is due to poor education, apathy or other factors, but it seems to be very important that more people SEE videos like this...

[@perturbo4253]

so are you saying burning wood is not pollution?

[@mfyferling]

Yes, indeed! I am saying that it will release no more CO2 into the atmosphere than the nature would do naturally in decomposing the wood... If you are looking for renewable energy, better burn the wood than let it decompose! Then bring the ashes back in the forest. Yet I am not saying that wood burning is not producing micro particles. I am not saying neither that you should kill all the trees tomorrow to produce clean energy.

[@Ben1829epek]

[@MattCasters]

Sorry, bio-mass energy and bio-fuels are a complete dead end. That is essentially because plants convert about 2% of the sunlight into energy. Compare this to a modern solar panel which gets at least 10 times as much efficiency and that is directly usable in the form of electricity, not locked up in complex molecules. Complicating factors are also the enormous amount of water needed to produce bio-fuels, the high cost and complexity of bio-mass anything, using land to produce low efficiency energy instead for food, the disruption of global food markets and so on. Watch a Tony Seba video on the subject.

[@KieraCameron514]

That's a myth to say there is energy in those chemical bonds. During combustion, energy is released when chemical bonds are formed not broken.
