Biomass is becoming increasingly well known as the main source of renewable energy on Earth. Biomass is the production of electricity and heat through the combustion of plant or animal matter. The main interest of this solution of energy production is the fact that the material used is inexhaustible, as long as it is produced in an ecological way, contrary to fossil fuels.
The main advantage of biomass power plants is simple: they allow to create energy without using fossil fuels, thanks to ecological resources. With biomass, it is also possible to recover waste and reuse it to create energy. This mode of electricity production has, in principle, a neutral carbon balance, because it rejects a relatively low quantity of CO2, similar to the quantity consumed by the plants during their growth phase. In a world where ecology and respect for the environment are increasingly important, the use of natural fuels is necessarily a welcome solution. However, this solution is contested by many associations.
