How to produce energy using biomass

Biomass produces bioenergy that may be used directly to produce heat or further processed to produce biopower, biofuel or biogas.

  • Biopower

    How biomass can be used to produce electricity


    Electricity generated from bioenergy through a thermal conversion process. This power is generated using engines, turbines or fuel cells.

  • Biofuels

    How biofuel is produced

    Ethanol and methanol, are produced when biomass is converted to a liquid form.
