What is Biomass Energy

Biomass energy is a kind of fuel that's created by converting biological material like plants and trees. This organic material can be obtained from animals and microorganisms. Plants manufacture food by using sunlight in a process called photosynthesis, which converts sunlight into chemical energy. The power is then transferred to the animals and humans while they consume plants. Biomass, which is mainly composed of plant material, is capable of giving out considerable amounts of energy, like chemical energy, electricity and heat. Just in case, plants aren't consumed by animals, they have been broken down or metabolized by microorganisms to release co2 and methane back to the atmosphere. This can be a continuous process, which contributes to the carbon cycle. Biomass energy is cost-effective and can also helpful in solving energy crisis, if used in a judicious manner.
