Biomass is material that has grown in fairly recent times, as distinct from fossil fuels that were formed millions of years ago. The word was coined I think to make this clear. The theory is that during the growth of this material it absorbed CO2 , therefore the CO2 evolved when it is burned does not on balance add to the atmospheric burden
