What are the 5 types of biomass?
Most biomass used today is home grown energy. Wood—logs, chips, bark, and
sawdust—accounts for about 44 percent of biomass energy. But any organic
matter can produce biomass energy. Other biomass sources can include
agricultural waste products like fruit pits and corncobs.
Wood and wood waste are used to generate electricity. Much of the electricity is
used by the industries making the waste; it is not distributed by utilities, it is a
process called cogeneration. Paper mills and saw mills use much of their waste
products to generate steam and electricity for their use. However, since they use
so much energy, they need to buy additional electricity from utilities.

What are three benefits of biomass?
Advantages and Disadvantages. 1) Biomass used as a fuel reduces need for fossil fuels for the production of heat, steam, and electricity for residential, industrial and agricultural use. 2)Biomass is always available and can be produced as a renewable resource
What are three disadvantages of biomass?
- Biomass is always and widely available as a renewable source of energy. ...
- It is carbon neutral. ...
- It reduces the overreliance of fossil fuels. ...
- Is less expensive than fossil fuels. ...
- Biomass production adds a revenue source for manufacturers. ...
- Less garbage in landfills. ...
- Biomass energy is not as efficient as fossil fuels.Good work.
Research the following types of Biomass.
