The burning of biomass in air,i.e. combustion,is
used over a wide range of outputs to convert the
chemical energy stored in biomass into heat,mechan ical
power,or electricity using various items of process
equipment,e.g. stoves,furnace s,boiler s,steam turbines,
turbo-generators,etc. Combustion of biomass produces
hot gases at temperatures around 800–1000 C. It is
possible to burn any type of biomass but in practice
combustion is feasible only for biomass with a moisture
content
