Biomass Energy Expert

The dictionary defines biomass energy as a renewable energy source from living or recently living plant and animal materials which can be used as fuel.  What does a biomass energy expert or biomass power expert do?  A biomass expert or consultant is someone with the education and experience in renewable organic materials, such as wood, agricultural crops or wastes, and municipal wastes, especially when used as a source of fuel or energy. A biomass energy expert or consultant can assist with any biomass that can be burned directly or processed into biofuels.  These would include such things as bio ethanol and methane. Since biomass is certainly a renewable feedstock, and it is certainly used to produce renewable energy, it is very much on the forefront of today’s renewable energy agendas.

The biomass energy expert comes in many varieties, and can be of assistance in process design, testing or improvement, research and development, feedstock supply and offtake, and much more.  The biomass consultant can also assist investors in selecting the right biomass technology, in assessing biomass costs, or in preparing due diligence/feasibility studies and loan/grant applications. During design, the biomass energy expert may perform a peer review of the design, prepare cost opinions and assist with permit applications.  During construction, the biomass consultant might assist with construction oversight of the facility and provide commissioning reports. They may also provide operator training, start-up assistance and management to assist in making the facilities run as smoothly and efficiently as possible. Especially in matters involving ethanol fuel or ethanol gas, the biomass energy expert can be of valuable assistance.  In matters involving biomass litigation, the consultant may serve an expert witness and assist the attorneys with understanding the processes and related technical issues and may testify in court about biomass technology, economics and related matters.
