advantages of using biopower
1. Waste Management:
Consistently we create huge amounts of solid waste. This waste involves biodegradable waste, recycleable waste, along with dangerous toxic waste. Biomass enerfy uses this waste so that it's no loner sitting in landfills. (conserve-energy-future.com)
2. Abundance:
Biomass is available in large quantities all over the world. Large pipelines across country borders and oceans ate therefore most likely not necessary. (EnergyInformative.org)
3. Renewable and Quick:
We will always have the sources of biomass such as crops, manure and garbage. As you convert this year’s crop to fuel, you are growing another one for next years fuel. Renewing takes just as long time as it takes to grow or gather, and that can be as little as months in some cases. (EnergyInformative.org)
4. Economic:
Energy harnessed from biomass is inexpensive compared to coal and oil. Typically they cost about 1/3 less than fossil fuels doing the same job. This means you can spend 1/3 less every year on heating your home and after 10 or 15 years that adds up to a considerable saving. (EnergyInformative.org)
5. Carbon Neutral:
Biomass is a part of the carbon cycle. Carbon from the atmosphere is absorbed into plants during photosynthesis and when the plant decays or is burnt that carbon goes back into the atmosphere. Because it is a cycle, the next crop of plants absorb that carbon over again, so there is a balance between the amount of carbon that the biomass fuel release into the atmosphere and the amount that they extract from it. This is why biomass fuels do not contribute to global warming. Biomass fuels are clean. (EnergyInformative.org)

This picture shows that biomass is one of the most effective and promising alternative energy strategies.
