Biomass

Biomass is renewable organic material that comes from plants and animals.  Biomass contains stored chemical energy from the sun and the use of biomass fuels for transportation and for electricity generation is increasing as we continue avoiding carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels. Biomass can be burned directly for heat or converted to renewable liquid and gaseous fuels through various processes.

Biomass sources for energy include wood and wood wastes, including sawdust and black liquor; agriculture crops like corn, soybeans, sugar cane, switchgrass, woody plants, and algae, and crop and food processing residues; biomaterials in municipal solid wastes like paper, cotton, and wool products, and food, yard, and wood wastes; and animal manure and human waste.

Biomass is converted to energy through various processes, including direct combustion to produce heat, thermochemical conversion to produce solid, gaseous, and liquid fuels, chemical conversion to produce liquid fuels, and biological conversion to produce liquid and gaseous fuels.
