Biomass energy

Biomass energy is one of the less-produced renewable energy, but its growth has immense potential. Generating electricity from plant wastes and food wastes is increasingly being adopted by governments and industries to achieve climate mitigation and environmental protection objectives, while generating returns. Proliferation of biomass energy production is a key solution for the world to cut energy-related emissions and fight climate change.
