What is biomass power generation?

　Biomass power generation　is using the organic matter obtained from the plant etc. as an energy source. Biomass can change of state because it is organic matter. So,we can "Solid fuel is made from the tree waste used for construction" , "Liquid fuel is made from sugarcane" and "Gaseous fuel is made from the excrement of livestock. ".

Merit : It is easy to adjust an amount of energy if needed. The garbage etc. which must have been dumped are utilizable as resources.

Demerit : "Since the organic matter is burned, carbon dioxide will be generated" and "Though there are people who are hungry food is not enough in the world, Can I really use for energy corn and sugarcane are food?" is an ethical opinion.
