Yes. The vegetation etc that is burnt to generate electricity needs the sun to grow.

2 reasons why biomass energy is not good energy source?

One reason why biomass energy is not a good energy source is that a large amount of land is need to create enough electricity to make biomass efficient. Another reason is that it can consume more fuel.


Does biomass need solar energy to run?

No, biomass typically produces energy through incineration which does not require solar energy.


Why is biomass becoming more important?

Since this world's fossil fuel supply is getting lower, people need to find alternative forms of energy to continue producing electricity. Since biomass is an alternative energy source, its importance is growing in place of fossil fuels.


What makes electricity such a useful form of energey?

the thing that makes electricity such a useful form of energy is that electricity is renweable it comes from the skies "thunder" you can also generate electircity but still some things need electricity to help it generate. so......... electircity is a useful form of energy, but also wind, solar are also useful for of energy.


Do you need electricity to work laser beam rays?

To get a LASER to work you need to excite it with energy. The most workable form of energy to do that is electricity. There ae several ways of exciting LASERs to work.


Why is biomass the best energy source?

Why is biomass the best source of energy? Biomass is the best energy source because it is renewable, natural and clean energy. Consuming fossil fuels is actually releasing energy harvested by plants and animals that came from the sun many years ago. This energy is a pollutant because it is in excess of what the sun would naturally add to the environment. It is the rapid rate of release of this "old" energy that is the biggest contributor to the current global warming problem. Harvesting biomass energy prevents greenhouse gas emissions, and it does not add to the energy already put into the atmosphere from the sun. Biomass grown in one production period is the result of harvesting nutrients, water and the available energy for the plant. Each species of plant, and each variety of any plant, has a different capacity for harvesting sunlight energy. Energy harvested by biomass is renewable and can be grown again in each growing season. When biomass is decomposed it releases energy in the form of methane gas into the environment. Essentially, the gas released from any biomass can contribute to global warming. The biomass energy is produced, and contained can be used to produce electricity, or heat. When this heat or electricity can used in an environmentally responsible manner. Fewer greenhouse gases are released into the environment, and the energy can be available for multiple uses. This energy replaces the need for fossil fuel. Harvested biomass energy is considered a clean energy because the harvested energy does not result in releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. It is also "clean" because the energy available is no more energy than the energy the sun naturally provided to that area where the plants were grown. The release of energy from biomass does not add to the energy provided naturally by the sun. The release of this energy could not be more natural. When grown in a sustainable manner the result of harvesting biomass energy is a carbon neural energy source that can be grown again and again, and not add to the carbon load of the atmosphere.


Do dams need water?

of course not ! dams need water as the energy to create electricity. Basically water is fuel to create electricity in dams and without it, it is impossible if there isn't any other form of fuel energy provided to dams ...


What is the point of biomass?

It is a potential source of energy that is readily available where there are people who need it.


Do trees help with electricity?

Trees can help indirectly with electricity by providing shade, which can reduce the need for air conditioning in buildings, thus lowering energy consumption. Additionally, trees can be used to produce biomass energy through burning wood chips or other plant matter.


Who are the major emerging producers of Biomass energy?

Biomass energy comes from a number of different sources. The main source of biomass is essentially the paper-manufacturing industry as the pulping liquor from the processes used to make paper contribute largely to the growing amount of biomass.In terms of the energy sources themselves, it would be best to refer to Wikipedia's article on biomass: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomass#Biomass_sources. The section on Biomass Sources should provide all the information you need.


What is a negative for biomass?

there is not a thing negtive about biomass we need to save biomass it!
