We as a species have two very huge problems: waste is piling up at an alarming rate and we desperately need an abundant source of clean energy. Many believe that the perfect solution to both of these problems is a simple one. Turn our waste into energy. Problem solved. Could it really work? Many scientists believe it can.

Biomass is a renewable energy source that can come from any kind of organic material, from simple wood and plant crops to dead animals. Aside from these typical energy sources, biomass also includes a large portion of its usable material in the form of excremental waste. That's right; there are biomass power plants around the world that uses animal manure to produce the energy to power a community.

Carbon is an abundant element on Earth that gets circulated naturally through different environmental levels. Animals, for example, have been producing carbon emissions for millions of years even before our gas guzzlers started polluting the atmosphere. It is only balanced and regulated by our planet's carbon cycle.

Many developments have emerged recently in relation to the car industry and the environment. Finding a good solution is a priority. Ethanol, or E 85, may just be the answer. Any vehicle that has a fuel injection system can be converted to accept E 85 and vehicles that can use flex fuels can be operated on E 85. Another benefit of this fuel is fewer harmful emissions. E 85 is a biofuel which means it is made from a renewable resource like corn or other grains. Because of this it helps support the local economy instead of OPEC.

Bacteria are the most prolific form of life on Earth. With about five nonillion on our planet, they form a biomass greater than that of all plant and animal life combined. They can grow and thrive in almost any habitat, whether it be radioactive waste or the inside of another living organism. It has long been known that although some bacteria are harmful to humans, nearly all types have a beneficial purpose on our planet. We are now discovering that bacteria may be even more useful to mankind by helping us to produce clean, renewable energy. Scientists worldwide are discovering that bacteria have limitless uses in the search for green energy.

Biomass fuels come from an abundance of diverse organic materials. This makes them an excellent source for renewable energy. Biomass fuels are made with wood, waste, plant materials and countless other materials that are widely available. Over the decades more creative and earth friendly uses for this fuel have become known and are being used every day.

In the quest to move away from our fossil fuel dependence and toward more earth-friendly choices, scientists are exploring every possible resource. Solar, wind, geothermal, and hydro electricity have been implemented in a number of areas around the globe and are being improved upon daily. Fuels are being made out of everything from corn to dirty diapers. Many scientists now are looking to a new source of energy, one that produces 15 times more power than other biofuels. This miracle resource is algae and a number of researchers are exploring the many ways this energy powerhouse can be used as a renewable fuel source.

Coal as a fuel source is perhaps one of the oldest energy resources implemented by humans for sophisticated technology. However, when in use, the thermal decomposition of the coal releases gas emission that include sulphur, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide, all of which are major contributors to global warming and prototypical "Greenhouse" gasses. Alongside the hunt for alternative energy sources, research and developers in the field have put their energy towards cleaning up coal technology.

As the world pushes for ways to produce electricity with renewable resources, many companies continue to use coal and oil, in spite of their history of pollution. Being able to use new technologies to burn coal and oil and not send carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and other pollutants into the air, allows the cost of electricity generation to remain relatively low, when compared to power produced by renewable resources.

For decades, coal has been one of the primary supplies of electricity generation throughout the world. During the industrial revolution, coal was the most popular of the fossil fuels and brought many industries to life. Unfortunately, coal came with an increase of carbon dioxide in the air, acid rain and water pollution and prompted the government to issue demands for coal-fired power plants to clean up their act.
