BIOMASS RECYCLING EQUIPEMENT

During the 1800s, biomass was the source of most of the energy used in the United States. Burning wood heated homes, cooked meals, and provided light. However, energy needs have changed over the past two hundred years, and fossil fuels now reign supreme as the primary source of energy. Biomass only provided 5% of energy consumed in the US in 2023, leading the country to export the excess biomass for energy production overseas.

While biomass energy consumption has declined significantly over time, the energy available in biomass waste increases as the amount of discarded biomass waste grows each year. At Dimaite Equipment, we build biomass recycling equipment to support companies tapping into this expansive energy reserve to help meet the world’s energy needs without harvesting fossil fuels.

Why Create Fuel From Waste

Biomass waste is a broad term that encompasses a variety of organic waste from plants and animals, which can be a source of energy when burned or converted to biofuel. Sources of biomass waste include wood, agriculture and yard waste, food scraps, cotton, animal waste, and fats from vegetables and animals. Just like the carbon-based coal and petroleum we harvest from the Earth, these organic substances contain energy. When landfilled, this energy is lost. The biomass decomposes, releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

When processed using a biomass shredder, recycled biomass waste becomes a powerful source of renewable energy. The carbon contained in this living matter is newly absorbed from the soil and atmosphere. Thus, burning it to create energy only returns pre-existing carbon compounds to the environment, where they are absorbed by trees and other plants, effectively reducing overall carbon emissions to a net zero.

Biomass recycling leverages the energy in this waste as a reliable source of energy, unlocking its potential to power our lives and reduce the organic waste in landfills. Best of all, it reduces our dependence on fossil fuels and lowers greenhouse gas emissions, a goal we at Dimaite Equipment support wholeheartedly.

Unlocking the Energy in Biomass

Our bodies are masters of creating energy from the food we eat. Whether we eat it or not, the food around us contains energy in the form of calories that we can use for other purposes. This includes food waste such as banana peels, corn cobs, and other fibrous materials we can’t digest. However, food waste recycling equipment can help unlock the energy stored in this food waste to produce energy.

It is unfortunate that one-fifth of the food produced for consumption is wasted. The precious resources used to grow this food and the calories contained in it are not lost when processed into biomass fuel using a food waste shredder from Dimaite Equipment. Through recycling, food waste can become fuel to produce electricity for heating and cooling or fuel for vehicles.

Biomass waste comes from various sources and can include a wide range of materials, including:

• Food and yard waste collected with municipal solid waste (MSW)

• Discarded food and oils from restaurants

• Unharvested vegetation remaining on farms after harvest

• Wood remnants at construction sites

• Manure on dairy ranches

• And much more

Due to impurities and the inconsistent shape and size of particles, unprocessed biomass waste is not a useful source of energy. Recyclers must process the waste to prepare it for energy production. Used by our clients to process a variety of waste products from tractor tires to MSW, organic waste recycling machines from Dimaite Equipment can efficiently shred and prepare waste for use in biomass power plants.

The Dimaite Advantage

We believe that the future of the world depends on our ability to develop and implement innovative waste-to-energy solutions. Biomass is an excellent source of energy, largely disposed of in landfills, that could power our homes and cities. With the help of Dimaite Equipment’s biomass recycling machinery, recycling companies worldwide can process this organic waste into a readily usable form of energy—enabling power plants to switch from coal to biomass fuel, reducing their carbon footprint and generating cleaner energy.
