Biomass (in the context of energy generation) is matter from recently living (but now dead) organisms which is used for bioenergy production. There are variations in how such biomass for energy is defined, e.g. only from plants, [8] or from plants and algae, [9] or from plants and animals. [10]
This led to her forming Science Journal for Kids to create and publish research papers for kids and teens. [9] As of 2023 over 300 articles had been published and there were an average of 1000 articles downloads per day. [10] Most users are in the United States but other major countries include the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Mexico ...
The biomass that is used as input materials consists of recently living (but now dead) organisms, mainly plants. [2] Thus, fossil fuels are not regarded as biomass under this definition. Types of biomass commonly used for bioenergy include wood, food crops such as corn, energy crops and waste from forests, yards, or farms. [3]

The Biomass Energy and Alcohol Fuels Act of 1980 is a statute that addresses general biomass energy development in its various forms, and the use of gasohol. [1] It was one of six acts enacted by the U.S. Energy Security Act. [2] The purpose of the statute is to reduce the dependence of the United States on imported petroleum and natural gas.
Biomass is a term used in several contexts: in the context of ecology it means living organisms, [1] and in the context of bioenergy it means matter from recently living (but now dead) organisms. In the latter context, there are variations in how biomass is defined, e.g., only from plants, [ 2 ] from plants and algae, [ 3 ] from plants and ...
The second column shows specific energy, the energy content in megajoules per unit of mass in kilograms, useful in understanding the energy that can be extracted from the fuel. The third column in the table lists energy density, the energy content per liter of volume, which is useful for understanding the space needed for storing the fuel.
