What is biomass and what are the
resources of biomass?
Biomass is organic, meaning it is made of
material that comes from living organisms, such
as plants and animals.
The most common biomass materials used for
energy are plants, wood, and waste.
These are called biomass feedstocks.
Biomass energy can also be a non-renewable energy
source.

today.
Other sources include food crops, grassy and woody plants,
residues from agriculture or forestry, oil-rich algae, and the
organic component of municipal and industrial wastes.

Why is biomass important?
Biomass provides a clean, renewable energy source that
could dramatically improve our environment, economy
and energy security.
Biomass energy generates far less air emissions than fossil
fuels, reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills and
decreases our reliance on foreign oil.

What are the advantages of biomass?
of energy.
•It is carbon neutral.
9
What are some disadvantages of
biomass?
Disadvantages of Biomass
•Biomass fuels are mainly burned on inefficient open fires
sustainable supply.
•Unclean burning leads to emissions.
10
How is biomass created?
11
What is the biggest problem with
biomass?
12
Is biomass good for the environment?
Biomass has many benefits, the primary one being that it cannot
be depleted like fossil fuels.
With an abundance of plants on Earth, biomass could be a
primary source of renewable energy that's used as a
sustainable alternative to fossil fuels.
13
How can biomass be improved?
14
How does biomass impact the
environment?
Burning either fossil fuels or biomass releases carbon
dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas.
