Renewable Energy - Biomass including wood, MSW, and biofuels, carbon cycle, photosynthesis
BIOMASS AND THE ENVIRONMENT Biomass can pollute the air when it is burned, though not as much as fossil fuels. Burning biomass fuels does not produce pollutants like sulfur, that can cause acid rain. When burned, biomass does release carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. But when biomass crops are grown, ...
