Corn Kernels - Biomass

Biomass

Corn kernels are used as pelletized fuel for pellet stoves and furnaces. Corn kernels are a natural pellet, which gives them a huge economic advantage over other man-made biomass pellets and wood pellets.

Bioenergy provides substantial economic, environmental, and security benefits. The use of renewable biomass energy creates additional forms of revenue for farmers and other economic industries. This process also reduces high volumes of waste. It is also worthy to note that this type of energy reduces landfill expenses significantly by disposing of volume waste.

Also, the use of biomass for bioenergy reduces fossil fuel use, therefore preventing large amounts of emissions of greenhouse gasses and harmful pollutants to the environment. Bioenergy is a very domestic energy source because it doesn't depend on imported energy, like oil. Since corn is grown in massive amounts across the world and every continent (other than Antarctica), corn kernels are a very widespread and cheap form of energy.
