Biomass energy is an environmentally friendly new energy source. It is the
energy obtained from the biomass through the photosynthetic effect of plants.
Bio Fuels are liquid fuels produced from Biomass. Most biofuels are used as transportation fuels,
They are considered carbon neutral
even though they may emit C02 and other green house gases during fuel consumption
because the plant souurces from which they are produced absorb C02. So on the net
they are carbon neutral.
In 2021, about 17.5 billion gallons of biofuels were produced in the United States and
about 16.8 billion gallons were consumed.
