What is a biomass system?

A biomass system refers to a renewable energy system that uses organic materials (such as wood, sawdust, agricultural waste, and other plant-based materials) to generate heat and/or electricity. Biomass systems can be used in a variety of settings, including homes, farms, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities. They are considered a sustainable source of energy because the organic materials they use can be replenished over time, unlike fossil fuels. Biomass systems can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on finite resources.
