Browsing: Biomass
Biomass refers to organic material that comes from plants, animals, and microorganisms, which can be used as a renewable source of energy. This material includes agricultural crops, forestry residues, algae, and waste products like manure or food scraps. Biomass can be converted into biofuels, biogas, and other forms of energy through processes such as combustion, fermentation, and anaerobic digestion. It plays a crucial role in sustainable energy strategies, offering a way to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and decrease greenhouse gas emissions. In addition to energy production, biomass is used in industries like agriculture and chemical manufacturing, making it a versatile resource for both energy and material needs.
