biomass is produced in different ways
Biomass energy is harnessed by converting organic materials, such as plant matter, agricultural residues, and waste, into usable energy forms. This can be achieved through various processes, including combustion, where biomass is burned to produce heat; anaerobic digestion, which breaks down organic matter to produce biogas; and fermentation, which converts sugars from biomass into biofuels like ethanol. The energy produced can be used for heating, electricity generation, or as fuel for vehicles, contributing to a more sustainable energy system. Proper management of biomass resources is essential to maximize efficiency and minimize environmental impacts.
Most biomass generators work by heating water to generate steam which then turns turbines for electricity generation. Different generators use different types of biomass fuel.
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.
yes biomass is widely accepted today, because it is renewable and it reuses our garbage
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.
85% biomass produced by plants in ocean.
Biomass energy is produced through burning organic matter.
The amount of plant material produced in a plot of land is called biomass. Biomass includes all living or once-living materials such as plants, trees, grasses, and crops.
The amount of energy produced by biomass can vary depending on the type of biomass and the conversion technology used. On average, biomass energy production can range from 1 to 10 watts per gram of biomass.

productivity
If you mean for producing electricity, not very different from burning fossil fuels. In the US about 1700MW can be produced from biomass at present.
Sunlight fed the plants that produced the material that became both coal & biomass fuels.
Yes, biomass is produced in the world through the photosynthesis process in plants. Biomass can be derived from organic materials such as wood, crops, and waste, and it serves as a renewable source of energy. Biomass plays a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainability in the energy sector.
productivity
The term for the amount of biomass produced in a given area is "primary productivity." It refers to the rate at which energy is converted into organic substances by autotrophic organisms through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis.
Biomass refers to the total mass of living organisms in a given area, while productivity is the rate at which biomass is produced through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. In other words, biomass is the total amount of living matter, while productivity measures the growth or accumulation of biomass over time.
