Biomass Energy

Biomass example — Biomass briquette made of hay

Biomass is non-processed (raw) or processed organic material that possesses chemical energy.^[1] According to the Ministry of Energy Infrastructures and Natural Resources of the Republic of Armenia,^[2] the usage of biomass as a source of power or gas is not broad in Armenia. However, the potential of recieveing biogas is around 135 million meters cubed and the utilization process has already been initialized.^[3]

Biomass Related Projects in RA

BBI International conducted country-wide research in Armenia. The aim of the study was to find optimal alternatives to the conventional bioethanol production.^[4]
"Renewable Resources and Energy Saving National Program of RA" esitmated both technically and economically advantageous implementation of biogas production. ^[1]

Statistics

The forecasts of biogas production in RA, from the "Renewable Resources and Energy Saving National Program of RA" esitmation.^[5]
