Solution
Biomass energy:
The energy created or generated by living or formerly living creatures is known as biomass energy.
Plants like the aforementioned corn and soy are the most prevalent types of biomass that are utilized for energy.
These creatures' energy may be used to generate electricity or be burnt to provide heat.
Biomass is bad because burning it releases the same amount of gases that are released by fossil fuels.
Biomass can give a negative impact by using natural sources like cutting trees for wood would cause deforestation.
More amounts of biomass in combustion can release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and cause climatic changes.
Biomass is not completely clean and it has inefficiencies like it needs more amount of space and a large amount of water.
