Biomass is one of the oldest forms of energy known to humanity.

Biomass is a renewable source of energy.

Biomass resources in the form of agricultural crops and waste from forestry and industrial processing currently provide about 14% of the world’s primary energy supplies.

Worldwide, biomass is the fourth largest energy resource after coal, oil, and natural gas.

There is a consensus among scientists that biomass fuels used in a sustainable manner result in no net increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2).

Using biomass rather than fossil fuels can help avoid acid rain and global warming.
