Biomass is a promising source of renewable energy. Currently, it ranks fourth in the world in terms of its energy use. Importantly, biomass is a renewable resource that can be obtained directly from plants or indirectly as waste from agricultural or industrial production. Today, biofuels are an ideal alternative to fossil fuels due to their carbon neutrality and low cost. Biomass can be used in solid form, by direct combustion (firewood, wood chips, straw bales, biomass pellets and briquettes), or converted and used in liquid (biodiesel, bioethanol) or gaseous (biogas, biomethane) state.
Using biofuel allows you to save significant money compared to traditional types of fuel.
