Is biomass really green?
Hi everyone,
I've ended up in an intense debate with a friend about if biomass really is 'clean'.
Their argument is that as you are burning the fuel, it is putting carbon into the atmosphere but I understood that biomass was better as it stops the fuel from rotting into the ground which releases carbon and methane?
But having had a quick look online, I see that biomass gets quite the bashing.
I suppose it's obvious but I guess it depends on if the fuel source you are comparing it to. i.e. is biomass better than fossil fuels? Of course.
is biomass better than solar or wind power? I don't know.
What do you think?
