Bioenergy is a renewable energy source derived from organic matter that comes from byproducts of recently living plants and organisms (aka biomass). One example of this is wood. We can generate energy by burning biomass or by harnessing the methane gas produced when organic material in ponds or landfills naturally decomposes.
We use biomass energy for the generation of electricity, thermal energy, and biofuels. Different forms of biofuels, such as biogas, biodiesel, and bio-ethanol, help minimize the demand for traditional gasoline products while also reducing the amount of transportation-related greenhouse gases emitted. Ethanol is made from corn and sugarcane, while biodiesel is made from rapeseed, soy, and oil palm.
Biomass feedstock becomes biobased products, electric power, heat, and liquid fuels, making it extremely versatile. Although burning biomass produces carbon dioxide emissions, plant regeneration consumes an equal amount of carbon dioxide, which we believe balances the atmosphere. Since animals or plants can live virtually anywhere, bioenergy is a form of renewable energy that we can incorporate worldwide.
