In what way are biomass and fossil fuels similar?
Fossil fuels and biomass fuels have similar origins. Firewood is an example of a biomass fuel. Fossil fuels are similar to biomass in that their creation also begins with microorganisms and plants using energy from the sun to fix CO2 into carbohydrates but there are several more steps in the creation of fossil fuels.
One advantage of using fossil fuels rather than biomass?
Fossil Fuels are convenient and easy to use, they also generate a lot of Energy.By: MI
Is biomass cheaper than fossil fuels?
Biomass is not expensive but the process of which it is made is
Why are nonrenewable resources called fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels come from fossilized animals or plants and take millions of years to form so they are therefore "nonrenewable."
How do you stop burning fossil fuels?
Most of our modern civilisation relies on fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). We burn them in transport, industry and to generate electricity. Burning fossil fuels releases a greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide, that is causing global warming. To stop burning fossil fuels we have to change to renewable energy(solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, biofuel and hydrogen).

Are fossil fuels like coal and oil considered biomass?
Biomass fuels are meant to mimic or replace the functions of fossil fuels. The Department of Energy defines biomass as "any plant derived organic matter available on a renewable basis." These organic matter consist of products such as wood, crops, alcohol fuels, landfill gas, agricultural waste and residues, and garbage. Biomass fuels are just beginning to be developed and their potential is still being cultivated.
In which way is biomass useful?
Many biomass fuels can significantly reduce carbon emissions if they are used to displace fossil fuels. Some types of biomass can also be converted into liquid which can be used for vehicles. Biomass fuels can be cheaper than fossil fuels in many circumstances. It is renewable and is not dependent on fossil fuels. While biomass can be used directly, it can be used to produce higher forms of fuels. Listen to mia. she knows everything.
Why do you use biomass rather than using fossil fuel?
Biomass energy is renewable as Fossil Fuels are not
Compare fossil fuels and biomass as energy resources?
biomass is a sustainable fuel that can deliver a significant reduction in net carbon emissions compared with fossil fuels.
What is the uses for fossile fuels?
Wood is not a fossil, it is biomass
What is the original source of biomass and fossil fuels?
The Sun.
How are biomass fuels and fossil fuels alike?
All the chemical changes are the same.
Is wood and coal both fossil fuels?
No. Coal is fossil, wood is renewable, biomass.
What Fuels that are not fossil fuels?
YOU WISH U KNEW ( wind, solar, and biomass)-Flopp&Angryasian
"Biomass is the future fuel"?
Biomass has many benefits, the primary one being that it cannot be depleted like fossil fuels. ... With an abundance of plants on Earth, biomass could be a primary source of renewable energy that's used as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels
Are there any fuels that are not fossil fuels?
Yes, renewable fuels like sustainable wood, biomass and biofuel (biodiesel etc made from vegetable oils) are not fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
