Benefits reaped from use of biomass

The benefits of biomass are:

• The use of biomass energy has the potential to greatly reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
• The use of biomass can reduce dependence on foreign oil because biofuels are the only renewable liquid transportation fuels available.
• Biomass energy supports U.S. agricultural and forest-product industries. The main biomass feedstocks for power are paper mill residue, lumber mill scrap, and municipal waste.
