Biomass is vegetable matter grown in recent history, like trees for example. The argument is that as the plant grows it absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere which it then releases when it burns, so the net effect on CO2 level is neutral. Fossil fuel contains carbon from millions of years ago so it adds CO2 when burned, the carbon has been retained in it for millions of years so is new to our environment today.
