Biomass is the waste produced by cattle and other farm animals, human's sewage and wastage from crops. This, as it decomposes, releases methane (called biogas in this context) which can be stored and used to cook with or heat water.
Biogas is much more common in LEDC's (less economically developed countries) as it is very self sustainable and cheap to install with help from aid agencies. It provides an alternative to chopping down trees for fires.
What else can I help you with?
Why are fossil fuel and biomass useful as source of energy?
They both burn easily with lots of heat.
Is kerogen a fossil or biomass fuel?

What is a biomass boiler?
A biomass boiler is a device that burns biomass as a fuel to heat water. For eg, The organic matter that is collected from a sewage treatment plant is burnt as fuel, That in turn is used to heat the water or whatever is to be heated. I hope that this helps. :-)

Wood could be biomass if it is sustainably grown. Old growth forests are not biomass.
Why are scientists trying to stop the use of biomass fuel?
Scientists are concerned about the use of biomass fuel because burning organic materials like wood or crop waste can release greenhouse gases and contribute to deforestation. They are focusing on finding more sustainable alternatives to reduce the environmental impact of biomass fuel on climate change.
