what does biomass mean
Biomass is biological material derived from living, or recently living organisms. In the context of biomass for energy this is often used to mean plant based material, but biomass can equally apply to both animal and vegetable derived material.he carbon used to construct biomass is absorbed from the atmosphere as carbon dioxide (CO 2) by plant life, using energy from the sun. Plants may subsequently be eaten by animals and thus converted into animal biomass.
