How Does Biomass Compare to Fossil Fuel?
Fossil fuels were formed from organic material compressed over thousands of years and have a very high energy density due to their chemical composition. This means they can be easily transported and utilized as an energy source. Biomass, on the other hand, has a lower energy density, thereby requiring a larger volume to produce an equivalent amount of energy. Fossil fuels require thousands of years to generate, whereas biomass can be easily generated annually making it a renewable and sustainable product.
