Biomass is energy that comes from plants and organic matter such as wood, crops like corn and sugarcane, manure, and aquatic plants. Even landfill gas from garbage and sewage provide a source of fuel that can be burned to release its stored energy to make electricity. Other products from biomass include liquid and gaseous fuels, heat, and other chemicals. Biomass is a "renewable fuel," which helps reduce the use of non-renewable fossil fuels.
