Biomass means plant growth of various sorts, all plants use solar energy to grow through photosynthesis, and chemicals in the soil or applied as fertiliser. Biomass provides thermal energy, when it is used ie burned

What is the difference between biomass energy and wind energy?
Both biomass and wind energy are natural sources of energy. Their differences are that biomass energy comes from waste materials whiles wind energy comes from the wind. Before energy can be produced from biomass, decomposition by micro-organisms must occur to produce biogas (energy), while for wind energy, the speed of the wind (energy of the wind) causes some turbine-like device to change mechanical energy to other forms of energy. Energy from biomass can also be obtained by burning it.
How is the energy from biomass released?
Energy from biomass is released by combustion.
How much does biomass energy?
Biomass energy produces 3% of the worlds energy
List six forms of renewable energy?
Renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass and biofuel).
The energy in biomass is used to make electricity how is the energy stored in biomass?
chemical bonds
What counties use biomass energy?
no one uses biomass energy
Is biomass energy available for use?
yes

How reliable is biomass energy?
As long as we can keep growing vegetation that we can use for burning, then biomass will be reliable.
How is biomass energy used?
Biomass energy can be used as electricity, fuel and many more
Why do you use biomass?
we use biomass to create electricity or power that is renewable. examples of renewable energy resources are wind ,solar power,biomass,sun and lots more.
What is keeping biomass energy from widespresd use?
Biomass has been restricted to rural areas. It is not used in cities.
Why do you use biomass rather than using fossil fuel?
Biomass energy is renewable as Fossil Fuels are not
What has the author Stefania Alonso written?
Stefania Alonso has written: 'Biofuel use in the U.S.' -- subject(s): Biomass energy, Biomass energy industries, Energy policy
How is biomass stored for later use?
Biomass can be stored in the form of wood chips. It is normally dried, and then later used in a boiler for energy.
How does the sun get into biomass?
Energy gets into biomass when planets use sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into sugar.
What are some different ways we turn biomass into energy we can use?
Biomass can be converted into energy through processes such as combustion, gasification, fermentation, and anaerobic digestion. Combustion burns biomass to produce heat or electricity, gasification converts biomass into synthetic gas that can be used in power generation, fermentation involves using microorganisms to break down biomass into biofuels like ethanol, and anaerobic digestion uses bacteria to break down biomass into biogas for heat or electricity production.
