bioenergia
Bioenergia, or bioenergy, is energy derived from biomass—organic matter from plants, animals, and their residues. It encompasses solid fuels such as wood and pellets, liquid fuels such as ethanol and biodiesel, and gaseous fuels such as biogas. When biomass is produced and used sustainably, bioenergy is renewable, because the carbon released during use is offset by the CO2 the feedstock absorbed during growth. It provides heat, electricity, and fuels for transport.
Conversion pathways include direct combustion for heat and power; gasification or pyrolysis to produce bio-oil or
Feedstocks include wood residues, agricultural by-products, dedicated energy crops, and municipal or organic waste. The environmental
