What is Biomass Energy?

Biomass energy is a renewable energy source derived from organic materials, such as wood, agricultural residues, animal waste, and certain types of crops. These organic materials, or biomass, can be used to produce heat, electricity, or biofuels through various processes such as combustion, fermentation, or chemical reactions.

Biomass energy harnesses the stored energy from organic matter, converting it into usable forms of energy. It is considered renewable because new crops or organic waste can continuously replenish the biomass used for energy production, making it a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels.
