Wood has chemical potential energy, when combustion occurs, you have fire. Fire is mostly heat and light energy.
Energy cannot be created. (Or destroyed) Burning changes the chemical energy of the wood to heat energy and light energy.
When wood burns, chemical energy is transformed into heat
Thermal energy........
By burning it. The heat it lets off will be energy.
People have been burning wood for centuries to provide themselves with heat energy.
Since the "law of conservation of energy" states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, all energy is never really destroyed only changed. Chemical energy is converted into thermal energy by certain chemical reactions, like combustion (when something is burned) or when fat is metabolized into heat for the body for example.
Well the energy transformation that takes place when wood is burned is CHEMICAL ENERGY---> THERMAL ENERGY.
It just produces thermal energy, in the same way as burning coal or wood.
biomass
Yes.
