BIOMASS: Trash to Treasure
Biomass is any plant material that can be burned to create fuel (ie. firewood, charcoal). It’s the oldest form of creating energy – naturally! It can also be converted to electrical power, or even biofuels for cars. However, millions of pounds of plant waste and trash often go overlooked as possible sources of energy. Is there a way to turn trash into treasure?
