Biomass Feedstocks

Biomass feedstocks are organic materials, such as wood, crop residues, and animal waste, used as raw ingredients to produce energy. These materials contain stored sunlight energy from plants through photosynthesis. When converted through processes like combustion or fermentation, biomass can generate heat, electricity, or biofuels. Using biomass feedstocks is considered renewable because new plant growth continually replenishes the supply. They also help reduce reliance on fossil fuels and can lower greenhouse gas emissions, making them a sustainable option for energy production.
