Biomass

BIOMASS HAS BEEN USED BY HUMANS FOR ALL OUR HISTORY ON EARTH

BIOMASS MAKES UP ABOUT 10 TO 14% OF THE NEEDED HUMAN ENERGY IN THE WORLD

IT IS EXPECTED THAT THE NEED FOR BIOMASS AS AN ENERGY SOURCE WILL RISE AS THE HUMAN POPULATION DOES

BIOMASS REDUCES THE AMOUNT OF ACID RAIN AND OTHER POLLUTANTS IN THE ATMOSPHERE

BIOMASS IS CONSIDERED TO BE AN ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCE DUE TO THE FCT THAT IT ISN'T FULLY RELIANT ON FOSSIL FUELS TO GENERATE POWER

BIOMASS REDUCES THE AMOUNT OF GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AND DOES NOT PRODUCE SULFUR OR MERCURY

THE LARGEST BIOMASS ENERGY RESOURCE IS WOOD

BIOMASS ENERGY HAS BETTER BENEFITS FOR THE ENVIRONMENT THAN FOSSIL FUELS

BIOMASS IS USED TO MAKE GAS CALLED BIOGAS; IT'S A NATURAL GAS THAT IS OFTEN USED IN OUR KITCHENS

IF BIOMASS IS GROWN PROGRESSIVELY, THEN IT COULD REPLACE GASOLINE FOR POWERING VEHICLES
