Energy | Energy produced by the conversion of biomass directly to heat or to a liquid or gas that can be converted to energy. (references) |
Food & Agriculture | All plant matter is called biomass, and the energy released from biomass when it is eaten, burned or converted into fuels is called biomass energy. Microbes, plants, trees, animals, vegetable oils, animal fats, manure, garbage, even fossil fuels, all represent forms of biomass energy that can be produced, cultivated or converted in a variety of ways for human needs. The term green energy is less used in English. Source: European Union. (references) |
Weather | Energy produced by combusting biomass materials such as wood. The carbon dioxide emitted from burning biomass will not increase total atmospheric carbon dioxide if this consumption is done on a sustainable basis (i.e., if in a given period of time, regrowth of biomass takes up as much carbon dioxide as is released from biomass combustion) . Biomass energy is often suggested as a replacement for fossil fuel combustion. See biomass. (references) |

Business | They also offer wide exposure to a reliable, simple biomass energy application, thus helping to improve the reputation of biomass energy. (references) | |
The top priority is the use of biomass for thermal applications, substituting oil. Assuming an available biomass energy supply, district heating systems represent perhaps the most immediate and low-cost biomass application in Romania. (references) | ||
Nevertheless, it is recommended that attention is given to CHP plants, industrial co-generation and co-firing in coal plants as higher priorities in order to emphasize the most efficient use of indigenous renewable resources from the beginning of renewed efforts to promote and expand biomass energy applications.

Economic History | Netherlands | The Dutch government has projected that renewable energy will cover ten percent of the primary energy consumption which is 288 PJ per year by 2020. In the same year, the share of biomass energy is expected to be 120 PJ per year. (references) |
Japan | In a June 2001 report on future new energy development measures, the New Energy Subcommittee of the central government's Advisory Committee for Natural Resources and Energy recommended targets for 2010 that would see increases in power generation capacities for solar energy, wind energy, waste energy and biomass energy of 23, 38, 5 and 6 times 1999 levels, respectively.
