Yes wood is a biofuel because a biofuel is anything that you can burn which is made from living things or their waste products ... :) LOL x
(DarthBismarck) Edit:
There's a number of factories going up around the planet at the moment that will take wood in any form and compress it into 'pellets' of varying size to act as a clean alternative to coal. As opposed to the toxins and pollution thrown out by coal-fire generators, these wood pellets are carbon-neutral, meaning they only emit an amount of carbon dioxide equivalent to what the tree itself would release should it have been allowed to naturally decompose.
What's better, when used in this form, the wood used in these pellets could be, have been, and in many cases currently are, the leftovers, remnants, and waste products from any industry that makes use of wood, from sawmills to the pulp and paper industry - one is as good as the others.

The price of biomass and where it comes from?
Biomass power is power that comes from plants. Biofuel, as the source of biomass power is called, costs about $5,000 a ton. Crops used as biofuel are mainly corn, soy, and sometimes wood.
What is wood's energy?
According to the information I found, in the laboratory, you can get 8660 BTU/lb out of wood because you can make it completely dry. However, moisture in the wood affects its energy output because energy is wasted to heat and expel the water content. They say that the realistic energy output of wood is closer to 6050 BTU/lb. 6050 BTU/lb = 6383 kilojoules/lb
How do you get energy from biofuel?
There are many ways in which you could get energy from biofuel. You could for example burn the biofuel substance.
What is in biofuel?
Different types of plants can be turned into biofuel
How is biofuel energymade?
Biofuel is energy made by heat.
Is biofuel and biomass the same thing?
No, it isn't. Biomass is any organic material. A moldy piece of cheese in your fridge might be biomass, but it definitely isn't biofuel. Biomass is organic material that is made from plants and animals, which are microorganisms. They can be burned as fuel, or biofuel (if there is a fireplace, the wood that is burned is a biofuel). It is burned for the energy, such as cooking over it, or just to stay warm. It is also a renewable source. Biomass fuels provide about 4% of the energy used in the United States.
