Biomass energy

Biomass is biological material from living, or recently living organisms, most often referring to plants or plant-derived materials. As a renewable energy source biomass can either be used directly, or indirectly—once or converted into another type of energy product such as biofuel.
Biomass is all biologically-produced matter based in carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. The estimated biomass production in the world is 146 billion tons a year, consisting of mostly wild plant growth.
