A biological material that can be burnt to produce heat
A synthetic material used in construction
A type of renewable energy source that does not release carbon dioxide
Why does burning biomass not add to global warming?
It does not release carbon dioxide
It releases carbon dioxide that was recently absorbed
It absorbs carbon dioxide during combustion
It is a non-renewable resource
What is the main difference between biomass and fossil fuels in terms of carbon dioxide?
Biomass does not release carbon dioxide when burnt
Fossil fuels absorb carbon dioxide during combustion
Biomass releases carbon dioxide that was recently absorbed, while fossil fuels release carbon dioxide stored for millions of years
