Direct combustion is applied to generate electricity from biomass. To produce high-pressure steam, biomass is burned to high temperatures. The produced steam flows over the series of turbine blades which causes rotation of the turbine. Due to this rotation, the turbine drives the generator causing electricity production. As the substitute for the portion of coal in an existing power plant furnace biomass is used. This technique is called co-firing which means the combustion of two different materials at the same time.

For different biomass sources, different methods are used for combustion.

  • Woody biomass- gasified to generate electricity

  • Corn Stover and wheat straw- anaerobic digester is used to convert into gas

  • Very wet wastes of animal and human sewage- Converted into medium-energy content gas in an anaerobic digester.

  • Other Types of biomass - converted into bio-oil through pyrolysis.

As compared to other renewable energy options biomass is one of the most advantageous in terms of dispatch ability, controllability, and availability. One of the disadvantages of biomass combustion is that it produces emissions that need to be controlled by the rules and regulations of the government.

This financial barrier can limit the growth and development of the industry, hindering progress toward a more sustainable energy future.

Impact of COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the biomass power generation sector. The scarcity of labor force, limited maintenance, and operational staff in power generation plants have hit the industry hard. The widespread suspension of economic activity, disruption of the supply chain, and concern for employee safety have contributed to the reduction of power demand and generated considerable risk for the entire value chain. As a result of the lockdown, the sector has faced falling demand for power, poor financial health, disruption of the supply chain for under-construction biomass power projects, labor shortages, and delays in the acquisition of land and equipment. These challenges have made it difficult for the industry to maintain its operations and meet the needs of its customers.

Impact of Russia-Ukraine War:

The biomass power generation market relies heavily on the availability of biomass feedstock, which includes wood chips, agricultural waste, and other organic materials. However, the war has disrupted the supply chain of these materials, leading to a shortage of biomass feedstock and affecting the growth of the biomass power generation market.

Impact of Recession:

As the economy has slowed down, demand for renewable energy sources is also slowed down. This has led to a decrease in investment in the biomass power generation industry, which has had a ripple effect throughout the market. One of the main challenges facing the biomass power generation market during the recession has been the lack of funding. Many investors have been hesitant to invest in renewable energy projects due to the economic uncertainty. This has made it difficult for companies in the biomass power generation industry to secure the necessary funding to continue their operations.

An accurate research report requires proper strategizing as well as implementation. There are multiple factors involved in the completion of good and accurate research report and selecting the best methodology to compete the research is the toughest part. Since the research reports we provide play a crucial role in any company’s decision-making process, therefore we at SNS Insider always believe that we should choose the best method which gives us results closer to reality. This allows us to reach at a stage wherein we can provide our clients best and accurate investment to output ratio.

Each report that we prepare takes a timeframe of 350-400 business hours for production. Starting from the selection of titles through a couple of in-depth brain storming session to the final QC process before uploading our titles on our website we dedicate around 350 working hours. The titles are selected based on their current market cap and the foreseen CAGR and growth.

 

The 5 steps process:

Step 1: Secondary Research:

Secondary Research or Desk Research is as the name suggests is a research process wherein, we collect data through the readily available information. In this process we use various paid and unpaid databases which our team has access to and gather data through the same. This includes examining of listed companies’ annual reports, Journals, SEC filling etc. Apart from this our team has access to various associations across the globe across different industries. Lastly, we have exchange relationships with various university as well as individual libraries.

Secondary Research

Step 2: Primary Research

When we talk about primary research, it is a type of study in which the researchers collect relevant data samples directly, rather than relying on previously collected data.  This type of research is focused on gaining content specific facts that can be sued to solve specific problems. Since the collected data is fresh and first hand therefore it makes the study more accurate and genuine.

We at SNS Insider have divided Primary Research into 2 parts.

Part 1 wherein we interview the KOLs of major players as well as the upcoming ones across various geographic regions. This allows us to have their view over the market scenario and acts as an important tool to come closer to the accurate market numbers. As many as 45 paid and unpaid primary interviews are taken from both the demand and supply side of the industry to make sure we land at an accurate judgement and analysis of the market.

This step involves the triangulation of data wherein our team analyses the interview transcripts, online survey responses and observation of on filed participants. The below mentioned chart should give a better understanding of the part 1 of the primary interview.

Primary Research

Part 2: In this part of primary research the data collected via secondary research and the part 1 of the primary research is validated with the interviews from individual consultants and subject matter experts.

Consultants are those set of people who have at least 12 years of experience and expertise within the industry whereas Subject Matter Experts are those with at least 15 years of experience behind their back within the same space. The data with the help of two main processes i.e., FGDs (Focused Group Discussions) and IDs (Individual Discussions). This gives us a 3rd party nonbiased primary view of the market scenario making it a more dependable one while collation of the data pointers.

Step 3: Data Bank Validation

Once all the information is collected via primary and secondary sources, we run that information for data validation. At our intelligence centre our research heads track a lot of information related to the market which includes the quarterly reports, the daily stock prices, and other relevant information. Our data bank server gets updated every fortnight and that is how the information which we collected using our primary and secondary information is revalidated in real time.

Data Bank Validation

Step 4: QA/QC Process

After all the data collection and validation our team does a final level of quality check and quality assurance to get rid of any unwanted or undesired mistakes. This might include but not limited to getting rid of the any typos, duplication of numbers or missing of any important information. The people involved in this process include technical content writers, research heads and graphics people. Once this process is completed the title gets uploader on our platform for our clients to read it.

Step 5: Final QC/QA Process:

This is the last process and comes when the client has ordered the study. In this process a final QA/QC is done before the study is emailed to the client. Since we believe in giving our clients a good experience of our research studies, therefore, to make sure that we do not lack at our end in any way humanly possible we do a final round of quality check and then dispatch the study to the client.
