Renewable Energy > BiomassThere is a wealth of energy to harness because of the abundance of plants and animals around us. Power generated using organic matter is called biomass energy or bioenergy. One form of bioenergy is a gas called methane. It’s a naturally occurring byproduct of decaying plant and animal material. |
 |
|
It is often found in bogs, wetlands and even landfills. The process can be duplicated in biogas generators using bacteria to break down organic material such as agricultural waste. The resulting methane gas is burned to produce electricity. It’s a remarkable process that turns waste into energy. |
