Wiki User
∙ 9y ago
Biomass fuels are constructed of various forms of natural resources. Scrap lumber, manures, forest debris, crops, and waste residues are to name a few. Given the nature of these resources, being biodegradable is an important element.

In what way are biomass and fossil fuels similar?
Fossil fuels and biomass fuels have similar origins. Firewood is an example of a biomass fuel. Fossil fuels are similar to biomass in that their creation also begins with microorganisms and plants using energy from the sun to fix CO2 into carbohydrates but there are several more steps in the creation of fossil fuels.
Are field crops fossil fuels or biomass fuels?
BIOMASS
Is biomass cheaper than fossil fuels?
Biomass is not expensive but the process of which it is made is
Why are fossil fuels considered to be non renewable energy resources?
because they take millions of years to recreate. apex
What are some examples of renewable non-renewable and inexhaustible resources?
Examples of non-renewable energy are coal, oil, natural gas, uranium and fossil fuels. Ex. of renewable energy are animals, food, and biomass. Ex. of inexhaustible energy are wind, solar, geothermal, and hydroelectric.
Compare fossil fuels and biomass as energy resources?
biomass is a sustainable fuel that can deliver a significant reduction in net carbon emissions compared with fossil fuels.
How can energy resources be conserved?
biomass can be conserved by turning it into usable fuels
How can you obtain fossil fuels?
fossil fuels come from non-renewable (will not last forever) energy resources, these non-renewable energy resources (fossil fuels) come from CRUDE OIL, COAL, NATURAL GAS, NUCLEAR, sometimes wood and biomass - this depends on how it is extracted
What is the source of biomass energy?
the sources of biomass energy are garbage, wood, waste, landfill gases, and alcohol fuels.
Why can biomass fuels be described as renewable resources?
because it can be made again.
How does photosynthesis produse biomass?
Biomass fuels come from living things. Wood is a biomass fuel. As long as we continue to plant new trees to replace those cut down, we will always have wood to burn. Just as with the fossil fuels, the energy stored in biomass fuels came originally from the Sun.
What percent of biomass fuels is used for energy in the us?
83%
Are fossil fuels like coal and oil considered biomass?
Biomass fuels are meant to mimic or replace the functions of fossil fuels. The Department of Energy defines biomass as "any plant derived organic matter available on a renewable basis." These organic matter consist of products such as wood, crops, alcohol fuels, landfill gas, agricultural waste and residues, and garbage. Biomass fuels are just beginning to be developed and their potential is still being cultivated.
In what way are biomass and fossil fuels similar?

Fossil fuels are similar to biomass in that their creation also begins with microorganisms and plants using energy from the sun to fix CO2 into carbohydrates but there are several more steps in the creation of fossil fuels.
What has the author V Flanigan written?
V. Flanigan has written: 'Thermochemical Conversion of Biomass to Synthetic Fuels in a Large Experimental Facility' -- subject(s): Biomass energy, Biomass conversion, Synthetic fuels, Renewable energy sources
Why do you use biomass rather than using fossil fuel?
Biomass energy is renewable as Fossil Fuels are not
How might biomass resources be used?
To power homes with heat and electricity Fuels for cars
