Biomass
Biomass technology is quickly coming of age. Dependence on petroleum products will soon be replaced with interest in how biomass can provide energy. Biomass can provide a clean, renewable energy source.
Biomass can include wood, grass, corn, milk cartons, stover, Salt Cedar, Russian olive, cherry pits and other organic resources. These rare materials can then be processed into electricity, heat and fuel that would replace petroleum products.
Currently biomass technology is commonly known as ethanol production. In the near future you will see a dramatic change in how other biomass can be utilized to provide us with a source of energy that is not dependent on fossil fuels.
