Why do we call biomass as a natural solar battery? What are major types/sources of bio-energy and what are major types of bio-fuel? How it contributes to the world (or USA) energy in the past, at present, and in the future? Do you think bioenergy has great potential solving our energy problems?

Solution

Biomass collects and stores solar energy within its cell by the process of phootosynthesis. As the plant matter decomposes, the solar energy stored is released. hence Biomass acts as natural battery for storing solar energy.

The major sources of bio-energy are the materials derived from biological sources such as materials derived from living organisms, that include plants, animals and their by products
