Verified answer
The term Biomass refers to biological material, usually plant-derived materials.
Biomass is a generic term however and can refer to any material that was of biological origin. One normally requires that the material retain the basic organic make up of the living organism, this coal is not considered biomass but dead plants are biomass. Coal has been substantially changed chemically since it was biomass millions of years ago. Manure can be considered biomass since it can retain a large portion of the original chemical makeup of the plants which were the original source.
Biomass is relevant to renewable energy because it sometimes contains a substantial amount of chemical energy that was present in the original biological organism. When you burn a log, you get energy from biomass.
Many forms of biomass are not useful as a potential source of energy. Bacteria and fungi constitute a large fraction of the currently living biomass on Earth and there is no practical plan to collect it for use as biofuel, but that is an active area of research.

Is a light bulb non renewable?
Electricity is a secondary power source. It depends on what is used to generate it. Wind, water or solar are all renewable or use little or nothing after the original manufacture of the component's.
What is Alternative sources of energy is non renewable?
Nuclear energy

What is the energy revolution?
The Energy Revolution is an effort to have the world move away from tradition 'dirty' sources of energy to cleaner, renewable energy sources. It is believed we can be at almost 100 percent renewable energy by the year 2050.

Is electrical energy renewable or non renewable?
The most popular renewable energy sources currently are: Solar energy. Wind energy. Hydro energy. Tidal energy. Geothermal energy. Biomass energy.
What are renewable energy sources sometimes called?
They are sometimes called alternative energy sourcesbecause they are not the ones used now. (Yet!)
Fuels such as the wind and sun that can generate power without being used up?
Wind energy and solar energy are called renewable energy sources. Other renewable energy sources include hydroelectricity (generated by water movement) and geothermal energy.
What is the difference between renewable energy and non renewable sources of energy?
renewable source of energy can be regenerated but non-renewable source of energy can not be regenerated.
What energy source is renewable?
Renewable energy sources are Solar, wind, Geothermal, Tidal are prime energy sources
Energy sources other than fossil fuel are called what kind of resources?
They are called renewables. (though strictly, nuclear power is not a fossil fuel and is not renewable).They are called alternative energy sources.
If an energy source is nonrenewable?
some energy sources are non renewable but some are renewable
How are energy sources renewable?
Renewable energy resources are always there. We just need to harness them.
What are positives about using renewable energy sources?
it is renewable and it is available throught the world
Is a wind turbine a renewable energy sources?
Yes, a wind turbine is a renewable energy source!!
Why are renewable energy sources needed?
Because if we use renewable sources, it's with us forever. fossil fuels and non-renewable sources will run out someday.
