Biomass is burnt to make electricity in the same way as coal and oil. It does not release additional carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, but its black and brown carbon (ash) pollution contributes to global warming when it lands on snow and ice, and when the particles are absorbed by water vapour droplets in clouds. It is not the solution to global warming.

Why is geothermal energy better than biomass?

It's only an opinion so make it up yourself I think biomass is better. It gets rid of trash that is filling the landfills. It is also renewable.

The downside is is that biomass can be expensive and it still lets out quiet a bit of pollution.
