biomass power plants

Biomass power plants generate electricity by burning organic materials such as wood, agricultural waste, or other biological matter. These fuels are converted into heat, which produces steam that drives turbines connected to generators, producing electricity. Biomass is considered renewable because the organic materials can be replanted or regrown, and it can reduce waste by repurposing materials that might otherwise decompose or be discarded. The process has environmental benefits, such as reducing greenhouse gases compared to fossil fuels, though sustainability depends on responsible sourcing and management practices.
