Corn A biomass power station makes electricity from biomass fuel. Bio- means biological, as in living things. Biomass fuels are everywhere. Waste wood, walnut shells, landfill gasses, crops grown specifically for fuel, animal wastes, the list goes on and on. Examples would be a plant that burns waste wood chips to power a boiler that runs a steam turbine-generator, or methane gas from decaying matter in a landfill used to run a gas-turbine generator. Biofuels are also sometimes co-fired with coal to lower the emissions of a coal-fired plant.
1,500, depending on size
How many people are needed to work at a coal power plant depends on the size and age of the plant, among other things.
Common fuels in use in fueled power plants are coal, oil, natural gas, biogas, and biomass. In nuclear reactors uranium and plutonium are often descibed as 'fuel'; thorium is a possibility that is still considered experimental.

Biomass energy comes from plants - such as wood waste, corn kernels or non food energy crops which are generally used to make liquid fuels, heat or electricity. The cost of energy produced from biomass always depends on the type of biomass that is being utilized, the type of energy being produced (heat, electricity or fuel), the technology used and the size of the plant. Power plants that can burn biomass directly can generate electricity at a cost of 7 to 9 cents per kilowatt-hour.
Biomass power stations. (Regular power stations that burn coal can easily be converted to burning biomass (vegetation), reducing pollution, just by changing the fuel.)
Safe enough. You have to burn it in a power plant, but it doesn't add to global warming.
There is no "normal size". The size depends on the design power level, the more power it is designed to generate the larger the plant will usually be.
Any Plant, such as an Ethanol Plant, that could run a boiler by burning biomass instead of coal.
No, biomass doesn't necessarily have to be a fuel at all, nor does it have to be plant material.
