BIOMASS LONDON

Biomass is living and recently dead biological material that can be used for fuel. It consists of plant matter, animal by-products and general waste products. If biomass originates from a sustainable source then it can be considered as a renewable energy... Biomass excludes any organic material which has been transformed by biological processes into fossilised fuel, such as coal and petroleum. Although fossil fuels were originally created from biomass, they are not generally considered to be biomass because they contain carbon that has been outside the carbon cycle for a considerable length of time.
