In simple terms, biomass is organic plant material that we can turn into fuel to generate energy. This kind of fuel is important because it’s renewable and can be used over and over again. For instance, we can use biomass to make electricity, which can replace fossil fuels.
We can use materials like wood, leftover crops from farms, and waste from cities to create biomass fuel. We can burn biomass directly, or we can change it into biofuels like methane and ethanol. Biomass contains elements like hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and some special types of metals
