Question

Biomass energy is considered a renewable resource. Describe why it is considered a renewable energy

resource, and discuss any potential downsides to using biomass as an energy resource.

Answer 1

Biomass is considered a renewable energy source because its inherent energy comes from the sun and because it can regrow in a relatively short time. Trees take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and convert it into biomass and when they die, it is released back into the atmosphere.
