A power plant that runs on waste wood and similar biological fuel.
The amount of land needed for a biomass power plant varies depending on factors like the plant's capacity, location, and type of biomass used. On average, a biomass power plant may require anywhere from 1 to 5 acres of land. Additionally, space is needed for storage of the biomass fuel and for other infrastructure like access roads and buildings.

The official name for it is Biomass, which means using plant material as a fuel for some sort of power plant
biomass power plant
A biomass converter, also known as a biomass boiler or biomass power plant, is typically used to convert biomass into electricity, heat, or biofuels through processes such as combustion, gasification, or anaerobic digestion.
Electricity is generated in a biomass power plant through a process called combustion. Biomass, such as wood chips or agricultural waste, is burned to heat water and produce steam. The steam then drives a turbine connected to a generator, which converts the kinetic energy into electricity.
The amount of megawatts produced by a biomass facility each year can vary depending on the size and efficiency of the plant. A typical biomass power plant can generate anywhere from 20 to 300 megawatts annually.
Biomass power stations. (Regular power stations that burn coal can easily be converted to burning biomass (vegetation), reducing pollution, just by changing the fuel.)
Safe enough. You have to burn it in a power plant, but it doesn't add to global warming.
Plant biomass is used for various purposes, including producing biofuels, generating electricity through biomass power plants, producing biodegradable plastics, and as a source of raw materials for the production of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and other products. Additionally, plant biomass can be used for composting to improve soil quality and as animal feed.
