Biomass is any organic materials made from plants or animals. Domestic biomass resources include agricultural and forestry residues, municipal solid waste and industrial waste. It can be converted to other usable forms of energy and is an attractive petroleum alternative for a n umber of reasons. First, it is renewable resources that is more evenly distributed over the earth’s surface than are finite energy sources and may be exploited using more environmentally friendly technologies. Agriculture and forestry residues, and in particular residues from paper mills, are the most common biomass resources used for generating electricity and power, including industrial process heat and steam, as well as for a variety of bio based products. Use of liquid transportation fuels such as ethanol and biodiesel, however, currently derived primarily from agricultural crops, is increasing dramatically.
