Biofuels and Bioenergy

Bioenergy

Bioenergy is a renewable source of energy provided by living organisms. Any organic matter that has deposited sunlight in the form of chemical energy is referred to as biomass. It can be made up of wood, straw, wood waste, sugarcane, manure and a variety of other agricultural engineering by-products as a fuel. Biomass, the biological matter used as a biofuel, as well as the social, science, economic and technological fields associated with using biological sources for energy, are all included in this broad definition. This is a common misconception, since bioenergy is the energy cultivated from biomass and bioenergy is the energy contained in biomass.
