Clean Power Comes on Strong: Biomass
Biomass energy provides plantpowered heat and electricity. Plants absorb and store energy from the sun as they grow. With the right technologies and careful attention to responsible land-management practices, the energy contained in plants can be
harnessed to produce heat and electricity.
Sustainable, dedicated energy crops have the potential to supply a significant portion of America's energy needs while providing farmers with a valuable new market for their crops.
