Biomass comes from living organisms, such as plants and animals. It contains energy first derived from the sun. Plants absorb the sun’s energy through photosynthesis and they convert carbon dioxide and water into nutrients (carbohydrates). The most common biomass materials used for energy are plants, wood, and waste, which are biomass feedstocks.
