Biorenewable resources
Biorenewable resources are natural materials derived from plants, animals, or microorganisms that can be replenished naturally over time. These resources include crops like corn, sugarcane, and soy, as well as woody biomass and algae. They serve as sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels for producing energy, fuels, chemicals, and materials. Using biorenewable resources reduces dependence on limited fossil fuels and can lower environmental impacts like greenhouse gas emissions. They are central to eco-friendly practices and help create a more sustainable economy by harnessing renewable, biological sources for various industrial applications.
