Biomass Energy Concepts and Applications

The video tutorial explains biomass as a renewable energy source derived from organic matter, including plants, wood, and waste. It highlights biomass's role in energy production, particularly in Brazil, where it contributes to 9% of electricity. The tutorial discusses the benefits of biomass, such as low cost and reduced pollution, and identifies key agricultural sources like sugarcane. It also covers the production of biogas from organic waste and outlines future topics for deeper exploration.
