Biomass is anything that is living or has been alive in recent times. They have been renewable energy source and all living organisms such as the plants, animals, fungi, algae and bacteria are biomass. Things that were alive not long ago and today changed into either some services and products or wastes are also included in the sounding biomass. These things range from the wood, degraded bodies and whole organisms by the microbial flora and some organic fuels. Biomass is looked upon to be of two concerns. The more practical and commercial group of biomass is that related to industry whereby biomass may be the supply of energy production. Another, more specific, consideration of biomass is really as an ecological term where it is regarded as the amount of all living organisms or a specific species in a given ecosystem or even a place. We will take the commercial definition of biomass under consideration for it is more general and certainly will be appreciated by a lay man and is also of wide interest to general public, as the other type would call us for scientific expertise because of its discourse.
Biomass usually differs from the hydrocarbon energy sources because the later strictly uses the fossil fuels and the geologically transformed hydrocarbons, such as, coal and petroleum oil. Since the environmental change has gained attention of the boffins and the governments the biomass energy sources have started to become favorites of the same against the environmentally hazardous coal and petroleum energy sources. Coal and petroleum originate from the hydrocarbon sources and are generally viewed as hazardous and dangerous to the environment due to their release of carbon dioxide as a waste. So the hydrocarbon sources are thought as not-biomass, for they have perhaps not been within the geochemical cycle of the world since so very long as to make their presence hazardous for the environment now. There is a normal level of carbon dioxide in the earth's atmosphere, that is, 0. 038%. Due to the extensive use of the hydrocarbon energy sources because the start of age of industrialization, the concentration of carbon has been greatly disturbed and is thought to be increased by 35%. This happened since the hydrocarbons are not renewable. However the biomass is a renewable power source that is burnt and its particular carbon is again fixed through the carbon cycle, making it a more favorable choice when compared with the coal and petroleum sources.
