Biomass is a renewable source of energy derived from organic matter, such as plants, animals, and waste. It can be used to generate electricity, heat, and transportation fuels, as well as to produce chemicals, materials, and other products. Biomass is a promising alternative to fossil fuels, as it can reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other pollutants while providing a reliable source of energy. There are a number of different types of biomass, including wood and woody biomass, agricultural residues, animal waste, and organic municipal waste. Read on to learn more about biomass and its potential to reduce emissions and provide a sustainable source of energy.

Read the full story at Farm Progress. Early planted cover crops maximize biomass production and enhance soil health benefits. Nitrogen applications boosted cover crop biomass production in a six-year study on a Fuquay sand soil type. Managing cover crop with a reduced tillage system helps preserve the soil carbon built in the soil.
The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) today announced up to $15 million in federal funding to make clean hydrogen a more available and affordable fuel for electricity generation, industrial decarbonization, and transportation. Specifically, the funding opportunity will support research and development projects that convert feedstocks—such as coal, biomass,…
