Biomass is plant or animal matter. Using biomass (or fuels or wastes derived from biomass) as a source of energy entails burning it to yield heat that can then drive engines or generate electricity. The energy in biomass is chemical in nature; it does not suffer from the problem of intermittence that is inherent to wind and solar resources. In this respect, biomass more nearly resembles fossil fuels than it does other renewables. Indeed, geologists tell us that fossil fuels are simply fossilized biomass.
