∙ 15y agoBiomass is biological material derived from living, or recently living organisms. In the context of biomass for energy this is often used to mean plant based material, but biomass can equally apply to both animal and vegetable derived material. There are five basic categories of biomass material: * Virgin wood, from forestry, arboricultural activities or from wood processing * Energy crops: high yield crops grown specifically for energy applications * Agricultural residues: residues from agriculture harvesting or processing * Food waste, from food and drink manufacture, preparation and processing, and post-consumer waste * Industrial waste and co-products from manufacturing and industrial processes. Some examples: Firewood Methane from waste Alcohol made from sugar or starch.

How does biomass create energy?
Generates heat while decomposing, the difference in temperature between the biomass and something cold, like a lake, is used to expand some fluid that turns a turbine and generates electricity.
Who was the first person to use biomass?
biomass has been used since fire was discovered
How does nuclear power compare to hydro power and biomass energy in terms of greenhouse gas emissions?
Neither nuclear power nor hydro power produce greenhouse gases during operation. Burning biomass produces CO2, but it can be argued that during the growing of the biomass material it absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere, so it is actually neutral.
How is biomass acquired?
You have to burn trash, harvest crops, and burn dead animals to make biomass a source that we can use.
The energy in biomass is used to make electricity how is the energy stored in biomass?
chemical bonds
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.
How does biomass energy form can be used in your home?
Wood burning in a fireplace would be an example of energy from a biomass.
Can biomass be used for transportation?
Depends on you engine design - for example ... the early steam engines burned wood - which is defiantly biomass.
Can paddy husks be used as a source of biomass power generation?
yes
