It is any renewable organic matter, including trees, plants, animal wastes and paper that can be used to generate energy. When biomass is burned, chemical energy is released in the form of heat. The most common form of biomass is wood and its by-products.
Crops grown on marginal land, such as switch grass and other native grasses, are also excellent biomass fuel sources. Unlike ethanol production, biomass does not impact crop land used for growing food. Biomass has been used in Europe for many years, and is beginning to grow in popularity here in the United States.
