Biomass conversion is considered renewable because it utilizes organic materials, such as plant matter and animal waste, which can be replenished over a relatively short period. As these materials grow and regenerate through natural processes, they can be continuously harvested without depleting the resource base. Additionally, the carbon dioxide released during biomass conversion is offset by the carbon dioxide absorbed by plants during their growth, creating a more sustainable cycle compared to fossil fuels. This makes biomass a more environmentally friendly option for energy production.

The amount of energy produced by biomass can vary depending on the type of biomass and the conversion technology used. On average, biomass energy production can range from 1 to 10 watts per gram of biomass.
Conversion factors are used in chloroform fumigation technique to estimate the soil microbial biomass carbon content. The conversion factor is used to convert the measured amount of chloroform-incorporated microbial residues to estimated microbial biomass carbon. This helps in assessing microbial activity and biomass in soil ecosystems.

The time it takes to make biomass varies depending on the specific process and technology being used. Generally, the conversion of organic materials into biomass can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks, depending on factors such as the type of feedstock used and the efficiency of the conversion method.
