Biomass power generation is the process of producing electricity by burning organic materials, such as plant matter, agricultural waste, and wood. This renewable energy source converts the stored energy in these materials into heat, which is then used to generate steam that drives turbines to produce electricity. Using biomass helps reduce waste and can lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuels. Common biomass sources include corn, sugarcane, and wood chips. Biomass power plants can be found in many regions, contributing to a more sustainable energy mix and supporting local economies.
