Biomass

It is the organic matter of animal or vegetable origin that under certain natural or artificial processes can generate energy. Thus, waste nature of the agricultural and forestry activities can be used for energy production.

One way to obtain energy from this area is using the heat produced in burning, for example heaters. You can also get it as fuel:

·  Biogas: it is to harness the gas generated in the process of decomposition of organic waste from landfills, farms or industries such as brewing.

·  Bioethanol: alcohol produced from the fermentation of certain plants such as sugar cane.

·  Biodiesel: usually obtained from vegetable oils directly or recycling which has previously been used for human consumption.

The ethanol and biodiesel blended with gasoline or diesel fuel used in vehicles. The fuel obtained is less environmentally damaging, as it significantly reduces the production of gaseous pollutants.
