Biomass fuels are meant to mimic or replace the functions of fossil fuels. The Department of Energy defines biomass as "any plant derived organic matter available on a renewable basis." These organic matter consist of products such as wood, crops, alcohol fuels, landfill gas, agricultural waste and residues, and garbage. Biomass fuels are just beginning to be developed and their potential is still being cultivated.
What else can I help you with?
Is wood and coal both fossil fuels?
No. Coal is fossil, wood is renewable, biomass.
Are there any fuels that are not fossil fuels?
Yes, renewable fuels like sustainable wood, biomass and biofuel (biodiesel etc made from vegetable oils) are not fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
What are non-examples of biomass?
Non-examples of biomass include fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas, as these are formed from decayed organic matter over millions of years and are not considered renewable resources. Additionally, minerals and metals like iron and gold are not considered biomass as they are inorganic substances.
What are gas oil and coal called?
Fossil fuels.
Coal and gasoline are examples of .?
Fossil Fuels
Compare fossil fuels and biomass as energy resources?
Fossil fuels are non-renewable sources like coal, oil, and natural gas formed over millions of years from decomposed organic matter. Biomass, on the other hand, includes renewable resources like wood, crop residues, and animal waste that can be replenished over time. Both sources can be used to generate electricity and heat, but biomass is considered more sustainable and environmentally friendly than burning fossil fuels due to lower greenhouse gas emissions.
How can you obtain fossil fuels?
fossil fuels come from non-renewable (will not last forever) energy resources, these non-renewable energy resources (fossil fuels) come from CRUDE OIL, COAL, NATURAL GAS, NUCLEAR, sometimes wood and biomass - this depends on how it is extracted
Why is burning biomass better than burning oil or coal?
Burning biomass is considered better than burning oil or coal because biomass is a renewable energy source that can be produced sustainably, whereas oil and coal are fossil fuels that contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. Additionally, burning biomass can help reduce waste by using organic materials that would otherwise be disposed of in landfills.
What are the example of fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are: coal methane, petroleum.
Is coal better than fossil fuels?
Coal IS a fossil fuel
Does fossil fuels have coal in it?
fossil fuels does have coal in it because when the smoke comes up, coal in already in it!!! I am not 100% sure this is right.............
Why is Biomass considered carbon neutral?
Biomass is considered carbon neutral because it gives off the same amount of carbon when burned that it absorbed while growing. So, unlike fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), it doesn't pollute the environment by adding extra CO2 to the atmosphere.
