Renewable Energy [Episode 8] Biomass Energy

Biomass energy is a renewable energy source derived from organic materials such as wood, agricultural residues, and waste from plants and animals. These organic materials, collectively referred to as biomass, can be burned directly to produce heat or converted into biogas or biofuels through processes like fermentation or gasification. Biomass energy is considered carbon-neutral because the carbon dioxide released during combustion is offset by the carbon dioxide absorbed by the plants during their growth, making it a sustainable and environmentally friendly energy option. It has diverse applications, including heating, electricity generation, and transportation fuels, and plays a crucial role in reducing reliance on fossil fuels and mitigating climate change while utilizing readily available natural resources.
