Biomass energy is a carbon fuel that produced CO2 when burned, but that is OK because the carbon is on a short-term cycle. The carbon being put into the atmosphere is carbon that was taken out of the atmosphere as a plant grew, probably a few months or years before the biomass is being burned.

So although biomass produces CO2, it is CO2 that was removed from the atmosphere relatively recently, which is sustainable.

What so good about biomass?

Producing energy from biomass does not increase the net CO2 in the atmosphere, since the plants remove the CO2 from the atmosphere when growing, and simply give it back when burned. Biomass also can make use of land that would otherwise not be profitable.

2 reasons why biomass energy is not good energy source?

One reason why biomass energy is not a good energy source is that a large amount of land is need to create enough electricity to make biomass efficient. Another reason is that it can consume more fuel.
