CO 1. EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENT SOURCES OF ENERGY
The sun is the main source of energy on Earth. Other energy sources
include coal, geothermal energy, wind energy, biomass, petrol, nuclear
energy, and many more. Energy is classified into various types based
on sustainability as renewable sources of energy and non-renewable
sources of energy.

CO-2 DESCRIBE THE BIOMASS PRE TREATMENT
TECHNIQUES REQUIRED FOR ENERGY PRODUCTION
Biomass is converted to energy through various processes, including:
Direct combustion (burning) to produce heat. Thermochemical
conversion to produce solid, gaseous, and liquid fuels. Chemical
conversion to produce liquid fuels.The biomass pretreatments are
physical, chemical, or biological steps that aim to the separation of
lignin, hemicellulose, cellulose, and inorganic compounds for further
processing and valorization
CO 3. EXPLAIN THE PHYSICAL AND THERMOCHEMICAL CONVERSION
USED FOR PRODUCTION OF ENERGY
Thermochemical conversion encompasses thermal breakdown of
organic components of biomass to produce biofuels obtained via
various procedures—for example, direct combustion, pyrolysis,
gasification, and thermochemical liquefaction.Thermochemical
conversion processes include combustion, gasification, and pyrolysis.
Potential energy types include heat, steam, electricity, and liquid fuels
(biofuels if the feedstock is biomass).
CO -4 EXPLAIN BIOCHEMICAL CONVERSION PROCESS
USED FOR PRODUCTION OF ENERGY
Biochemical conversion uses biocatalysts, such as enzymes, in
addition to heat and other chemicals, to convert the carbohydrate
portion of the biomass (hemicellulose and cellulose) into an
intermediate sugar stream.
CO -5 EXPLAIN CHEMICAL CONVERSION
PROCESSES USED FOR PRODUCTION OF ENERGY
Biochemical conversion uses biocatalysts, such as enzymes, in
addition to heat and other chemicals, to convert the
carbohydrate portion of the biomass (hemicellulose and
cellulose) into an intermediate sugar stream.
Biomass can be burned to create heat (direct), converted into
electricity (direct), or processed into biofuel (indirect). Biomass
can be burned by thermal conversion and used for energy.
Thermal conversion involves heating the biomass feedstock in
order to burn, dehydrate, or stabilize it.
