Why Use Biomass?
Biomass is a renewable source of energy that cannot be depleted. As long as there are plants on the planet, then biomass will be available as an energy source. Biomass is critically important given the challenges we face today.
Biomass fuel helps to reduce the carbon emissions and greenhouse gases that are driving global warming and climate change. Solid biomass fuel can also produce electricity more reliably than intermittent renewable energy sources such as wind and solar because it can be stored and used when needed.
The benefits of biomass as a renewable energy source include:
- It will always be widely available as a renewable energy source
- It’s carbon neutral
- It reduces our reliance on fossil fuels
- It’s a lot cheaper than fossil fuels
- It’s a revenue source for farmers
- Burning solid waste means less waste ends up in landfill
