Biomass is organic material derived from plants and animals. When burned, biomass releases heat or electricity. Methane gas also known as “biogas”, ethanol and biodiesel are usable forms of energy converted from biomass. Fermented crops such as corn also produce ethanol and transportation fuel. Biogas is released from human and agricultural waste and biodiesel is made from vegetable oils and animal fats. It is believed that about 14% of the world's primary energy consumptions are supplied by biomass. Industry experts expect an increase of biomass in developing countries over the coming years due to the depletion of fossil fuels and an increase in demand.

Here are some more advantages of Biomass -

• It is easy to convert Biomass to a high energy portable fuel such as alcohol or gas.
• Biomass production helps in restoration of waste land.
• It is very low in sulphur reducing the production of acid rain.
• It can be used in areas of unused agricultural land.

The main advantage of Biomass it available easily and is cheap.

Use of biomass is one of the best way to conserve energy.
