Is biomass energy considered renewable or nonrenewable?

The term biomass is not a new term. The context of if it is a "renewable" sourse of fuel however is.Biomass does not take 1,000,000 years to make. All other references as to age, ammount it burns is completely irrelivant. The term biomass is only relivant to the fact that biomass is a particular plant or living animal IN a biome. Trees in a biome are biomass. The size of a tree is also irrelivant.Deforestation is a way of burning biomass. it is not a sustainable way because it removes trees faster than they can grow.This is the old term of biomass:"Total mass of living organisms present in a given area. It may be used to describe the mass of a particular species (such as earthworm biomass), for a general category (such as herbivore biomass - animals that eat plants), or for everything in a habitat."This is the new context."Plant biomass can be changed into liquid or gaseous fuels to generate electricity or heat, or to fuel internal combustion engines. Fuel from biomass is burned in a reactor to generate heat energy, which is then converted into mechanical energy to turn turbine blades in a generator to produce electricity. Biomass power stations of 80 megawatts can produce electricity to power approximately 42,000 homes."Therefore biomass IS a form of renewable fuel. Biomass CAN be a SUSTAINABLE form of fuel when it is gathered and utalized efficiantly. This is why several large steps in making bio fuels have been made in the past few years.Please adress any changes WITHIN DISCUSSION.Sources:Degree in environmental Studiesbiomass. (2010).
