2. Biomass  Biomass- Biomass as a renewable energy source, is biological marital form living, or recently living organisms.

3. For many years people have used products that have biomass energy such as wood, coal, and plant and animal wastes to heat their homes and cook their foods. Today biomass is used to generate electricity and to produce methanol and ethanol. Biomass Energy

4. Disadvantages  Biomass fuel is bulky and hard to transport.  It takes about three tons of wood to produce the same amount of energy as a ton of coal.  The plants used to make biomass are not always in season (being grown).  It is difficult to collect/ make.  Produces carbon dioxide.

5. Advantages  As long as there is living or formally living organisms, biomass is available.  It is inexpensive compared to other energy resources.  Biomass is easy to find.  Biomass production can often mean the restoration of waste land.  More jobs will be created to make/produce biomass.

6. Biomass Uses  Heating Energy  Gaseous Fuels  Electricity  Liquid Energy

7. Biomass is used all over America because it is so easy to get. Since it is made from living or recently living organisms, it is a very popular fuel. So biomass has no limit for who can use it and where it can be used! Biomass in America

10. Examples of Biomass  Garbage  Crops  Dung  Wood  Crops  Landfill Gas  Alcohol Fuels

11. Biomass is the energy of the future. It is renewable and efficient. It is hard to transport but easy to make. The trees and animals used to make biomass are replaceable. It takes more to do things with biomass than coal, but it is better for you and the environment. There is barely any limit to what it can be used for, and as long as there are living(or formally living) organisms are alive, biomass is usable. Biomass is the fuel of the future! Conclusion
