Similar to how cavemen used burning wood to keep warm, bioenergy employs the breakdown of recently living biomaterials to harvest the stored energy. Examples of recently living biomaterials include wood/food waste, forest residues, or microalgae. This breakdown has become known as biomass. Three methods “to harvest biomass are through burning, bacterial decay, and conversion to gas or liquid fuel” (Energy.gov, n.d.). Biomass can be used in a variety of forms. Some of the most notable are biofuels for vehicles or heat and electricity. The alternative source offers a renewable, cost-effectiv,e and efficient approach to our energy crisis.
