What types of energy can biomass produce?
• Electricity • Transportation • Thermal (Space heating and air conditioning, industrial process heating, domestic water heating) Why should biomass be used for heating? Biomass is a local, finite natural resource that can be easily and efficiently utilized locally. The utilization of biomass for thermal heating applications is one of the most efficient means to produce usable energy – thus displacing fossil fuels and reducing GHG emissions. It is an important national strategy to be used responsibly and sustainably to achieve the maximum benefits for our country’s future economic health.
