Biomass fuels are derived from living or recently living plant or animal matter. This fuel could be acquired in many ways; as simple as burning the biomass (such as wood) for heat, decomposition of biomass to form combustion materials, methane production from anaerobic digestion (such as sewage treatment), ethanol production from fermentation and other industrial fuels.
These fuels are intended to be renewable.
