Science Hurumanu

RENEWABLE ENERGY

Aim: To compare the amount of gas that is produced from different types of biomass.

Material:
  1. Three bottles  
  2.   Permanent marker 
  3.   Disposable gloves
  4.   Cup 
  5.   Fresh horse manure 
  6.   Mashed banana
  7. Vegetable peelings
  8.  Funnel
  9. Water
  10. Three balloons  
Steps:
  1.  First we got into 4 group with 8-9 people. 
  2.  Then we got 3 bottles to share between the group and labeled them.
  3.  First bottle we put one cup of horse manure, second bottle we put one cup of horse manure + one cup of vegetables peelings and third bottle we put one cup of horse manure + 1 mashed banana.  
  4. Then after putting in all those ingredients, we put cups of water in to a certain line on the bottle.
  5. Then after putting cups of water in, we put a balloon over the top cap of the bottle.
  6.  After putting the balloon on, we taped the balloon to the top cap.

Investigation.

Research the following Biomass fuels. You will need to:

Write a definition of the fuel.
Write 8 sentences about the fuel. 
Place 1 image of the fuel.
  • How is it made? 
  • Where is it made? 
  • What is it made with? 
  • What countries use it? 
  • What uses will it have in the future?  

Biomass Fuel types.
Name: Agricultural crops and wood fuels.
Definition:
Agricultural Crops: A crop is a plant or animal product that can be grown of harvested extensively for profit or support. Most pants are cultivated in agriculture or aquaculture. A crop is usually expanded ti include macroscopic fungus or alga. Wood fuel is a fuel such as firewood, charcoal, chips, sheets, pellets and sawdust. The particular form used factors such as source, quantity, quality and application.

Uses:
Rubber from trees are also a cash crop as is lumber, fruit, vegetables and cotton. Plants are also used in agriculture to help reduce the speed of wind. Planting trees in a row prevents the wind from blowing away the valuable topsoil. In the forest trees act as shelter for many organisms.

Name: Animal waste.
Definition:
Discarded material from industries directly associated with a raising of animals. Such as those wastes produces by livestock farming, meat production, animal testing and fur breeding.

Uses:
Animal manure such as chicken and cow manure has been used for centuries as a farming fertilizer. It can improve the soil structure so that the soil holds more nutrients, water and therefore becomes more fertile.

Name: Bio gas
Definition:
Bio-gas is a gaseous fuel. Especially methane produced by the fermentation of organic matter.

Uses:
The gases methane, hydrogen and carbon monoxide can be combusted or oxidized with oxygen. This energy release allows bio-gas to be used as a fuel, it can be used for any heating purpose such as cooking. It can also be used in a gas engine to convert the energy in the gas into electricity and heat.

Name: Bio fuels
Definition:
A fuel derived immediately from living matter.

Uses:
Bio-fuels are transportation fuels such as ethanol and bio-diesel that are made from biomass materials. These fuels are usually blended with petroleum fuels but they can also be used on their own.
