Biomass
Biomass power relies on plant-based energy to generate electricity or heat through technologies such as direct-firing, cofiring, gasification, pyrolysis and anaerobic digestion. This form of power requires water and land area to grow biomass crops and generate power, which impacts surrounding ecosystems and land-use options.
