Why is biomass better than the alternatives?

- Biomass is the most versatile form of renewable energy. It can make electricity, fuel, and chemicals that produce household products.

- Multiple resources can be used to make biomass. It does not depend on just one resource, like wind, water, or sunlight.

- Biomass materials are available in many areas throughout the world. This reduces dependence on foreign countries for resources, like petroleum.

- Biomass has a very low cost. Out of all other renewable energy sources, biomass is the cheapest.
