Biomass contains stored energy from the sun. By the photosynthesis process, when biomass such as plants is burned, the chemical energy in biomass is released as heat. Biomass can be burned directly or converted to liquid biofuels or biogas that can be burned as fuels. Bioethanol, biodiesel, and biogas are types of biofuels. Biofuels are considered renewable energies, emit less than fossil fuels, and have received increasing attention in the transition to a low-carbon economy. Renewable biofuels are made through the use or conversion of biomass. Biogas is primarily methane and carbon dioxide and may have small amounts of hydrogen sulphide. Biogas is a renewable energy source which can be produced by anaerobic digestion with anaerobic organisms, which digest material inside a closed system, or fermentation of biodegradable materials
