biomass is organic material that can be processed to produce energy. This can include wood, waste, alcohol fuels, and gases, such as those released by landfills.

biomass can be thermally, chemically, or biochemically treated in order to use it as energy. That is, you can burn it, chemically treat it, or treat it with microorganisms or enzymes or the like.

Ex: Burning firewood is using biomass energy.

The most promising alternative energy form of biomass fuels seems to be the use of energy that plants make while they are alive. Factories can be run by algae, which in turn uses the carbon dioxide released by the factory to continue growing, creating a closed cycle and a lack of pollution.
