Bioenergy is the energy produced from biomass. Biomass is available from materials derived from biological sources. Biomass is any organic material which has stored sunlight in the form of chemical energy. As a fuel it may include wood., wood waste, straw, manure, sugar cane, and many other products from a variety of agricultural processes. Energy from biomass is produced by burning organic matter. Biomass is the solid form of ‘bioenergy’, but liquid fuels can also be generated from plant matter and this is referred to as ‘biofuel’. Biomass is carbon-based so when used as a fuel it also generates carbon emissions. However, the carbon that is released during combustion is equivalent to the amount that was absorbed during growth, and so the technology is carbon-neutral.
