What is biomass?
Biomass is a collective term for renewable, biologically degradable (by-)products and waste materials from agriculture, forestry and industry. Examples include: wood, sugar cane, coleseed, animal fats and manure. Municipal solid waste, provided it is biodegradable, is also a usable form of biomass. It is anticipated that biomass and bioprocesses will be important tools in combatting pollution as well as tackling climate change and energy security.
