Abstract

In the world, fossil fuels such as coal and oil are clustered in certain regions and existing resources are rapidly depleting. However, the negative effects of fossil fuels on the environment and animal health make renewable energy sources more important. Renewable energy sources have advantages such as sustainability, less negative environmental impacts than fossil fuels, and their availability in almost every region. Biomass, which appears to be an environmental burden but has great potential, is also one of the renewable energy sources. Biomass; It forms the basis for many secondary energy sources such as biogas, biochar, biohydrogen, and biodiesel. Biomass energy is a source that can provide continuous energy, not intermittently like wind and sun. The easy storage of biomass energy provides an advantage over other renewable energy sources. As a result of storing the endless energy of the sun in plants, biomass energy based on agriculture is offered for use with various technologies. In this study, first of all, the definition of biomass energy, its sources and secondary energy sources produced from biomass energy are mentioned. Afterward, production methods for secondary energy sources and processes such as product purification are mentioned. Finally, some suggestions have been expressed in the context of the energy production approach from biomass.
