    Biomass energy comes from organic materials like plants, waste, and rubbish. It is generated by burning biomass to create steam that turns turbines to power generators and produce electricity. While biomass energy is renewable, cheap, and reduces fossil fuel use, some argue that burning food waste is inefficient and biomass still produces carbon dioxide emissions, though less than fossil fuels.

    • Biomass energy is from organic products, such as rubbish,

    plants. and other wastes.

    1. When the biomass is


    burnt, it creates heat and
    that boils water to make
    steam.
    2. The steam then turns the
    turbine, which turns the
    generator.
    3. Electricity is generated ,
    the water is cooled and it
    is sent to a reservoir.

    Advantages Disadvantages

    • It makes sense to use rubbish • Some poor countries think


    where we can. that burning food is a waste.
    • Biomass energy tends to be • It produces carbon dioxide,
    cheap. but the amount of carbon
    • It is a renewable energy source. dioxide is much less than the
    fossil fuels.
    • Biomass energy means less
    demand from fossil fuels.
