Biomass Hydroelectricity

1. Biomass energy is generated from organic matter including wood, agricultural waste and cow dung. Hydroelectricity is produced from the potential energy of water stored at a height.

2. Biomass energy can only be used for heating and cooking. Hydroelectricity can be used for running all types of electrical appliances.

3. No special device is required to produce energy from biomass. Hydroelectricity can be produced by establishing a hydroelectricity plant.
