Biomass energy comes from growing vegetation and then burning it to produce energy. This can be done quickly and locally and many organic materials can be used, often the residue from sugar cane or the offcuts from sustainable timber. This is why it is cheap. It is also carbon neutral so it does not affect global warming.

How Energy Efficient is biomass?

Biomass is considered to be a relatively energy-efficient source of fuel because plants used for biomass absorb CO2 during their growth, creating a closed carbon cycle. However, the energy efficiency of biomass can vary depending on factors such as the type of biomass, processing methods, and transportation distances. Overall, properly managed biomass resources can be a sustainable and energy-efficient source of renewable energy.
