Bioenergy

Bioenergy is an important renewable energy source harnessed from biomassBiomass, i.e., plants or other organic materials that result directly or indirectly from photosynthesis. While biomass can be divided into two groups—traditional biomassTraditional biomass and modern bioenergyBioenergy—the energy transition focuses on the latter because bioenergy is produced using various technologies, which make it much more efficient and friendly to the environment and human health than traditional biomass in production and consumption. The R&DResearch and Development (R&D) of bioenergy technologiesBioenergy technologies recognizes three developmental groups or generations of bioenergy. Each of the three generations uses its own feedstockFeedstock and has its own benefitsBenefits.
