…One of the key advantages of biomass is its carbon neutrality. While burning biomass does release carbon dioxide (CO2), the amount released is roughly equal to the CO2 absorbed by the plants during their growth. This creates a closed carbon cycle that significantly mitigates the impact of global warming compared to fossil fuels, which release carbon that has been sequestered underground for millions of years. Moreover, biomass energy production can help reduce waste. Organic waste materials, which would otherwise decompose in landfills and produce methane (a potent greenhouse gas), can be utilized to generate energy, experts from innasol.com explain. This not only reduces greenhouse gas emissions but also addresses waste management challenges. …Looking ahead, the future of biomass energy appears promising. As technology continues to advance and awareness of the need for sustainable energy grows, biomass is likely to play an increasingly important role in the global energy landscape.
