- 3. What is biomass? Biomassis organic material made from plants and animals (microorganisms).
- 4. How plants makebiomass? Plants absorb the sun's energy in a process called photosynthesis. Biomass contains stored energy from the sun.
- 5. Converting Biomass toOther Forms of Energy Burning biomass is the only way to release its energy, as heat.
- 6. Converting Biomass toOther Forms of Energy The heat produced by the burning of the wood is used to heat up the water. This water then evaporates and transforms it into steam. The water vapour (steam) under the high pressure, makes the turbine turn. The turbine is connected to an electric device called a generator, which, when it turns, produces electricity.

- 10. Firewood The most common formof biomass is firewood. For thousands of years people have burned wood for heating and cooking.
- 11. Pellets (briquetas) Pellets aremade created by compressing an original material. Are use to burn them in fireplace, heater... (have the same use that firewood )
- 12. Charcoal Is produced bythe heating of wood andvegetable waste, until temperatures between 400 and 700 ºc, without oxygen. .
- 13. Biomass Adventages ● Is a renawable, cleanand ecological energy. Is a inexpensiver combustible than fossil fuels. ● Disadvantages ● When burn them they expel CO2, that contaminate.
- 14. Biomass is a renewableenergy source because we can always grow more trees and crops. Renewable energy
