Harnessing Biomass and Biofuels: A Sustainable Path to Renewable Energy and Ecological Balance.
Abstract: Biomass, derived from living or recently deceased organisms, encompasses biological material used for energy production, known as bioenergy. Historically, fuelwood was the primary energy source until the Industrial Revolution, which saw a shift to fossil fuels. Common biomass fuels include fuelwood, agricultural residues, vegetable oils, and animal wastes. Biofuels, a subset of biomass energy, are liquid or gaseous fuels produced from organic matter of plant or animal origin. The rising …
