Course: Renewable Energy (17105) > Section: Examining Biomass and Biofuels

Explanation should include how animal waste and plant material are converted into usable energy with processes such as

- digestion or decomposition
- extraction
- fermentation
- direct burning
- pyrolysis (heating in the absence of oxygen)

Process/Skill Questions:

- What technologies are associated with these processes?
- Which use of biomass has the most potential to curb global climate change?
- How does using animal byproducts help solve other environmental effects from excess animal waste?
