Biomass for Alternative Renewable Biofuel


With the high priority to combat the global warming crisis alternative and renewable energy sources have become favorable to fossil fuels because they lack as many environmental risks and pollutions. Biomass is a favorable alternative because it is sustainable and more evenly distributed over the earths surface and use less capitol-intensive technologies. Thus, energy will provide a self-sufficient resource for local, regional, and national levels. Characterization of biomass is important to the climate and season and with understanding the environment specific crops to various regions can produce the most energy. The production of energy from biomass is a promising renewable energy with the largest and most sustainable source of energy. Increasing production will reduce the use of fossil fuels. This process will reduce the amount of greenhouse gases compared to fossil fuels.
