Biomass energy comes from plants - such as wood waste, corn kernels or non food energy crops which are generally used to make liquid fuels, heat or electricity. The cost of energy produced from biomass always depends on the type of biomass that is being utilized, the type of energy being produced (heat, electricity or fuel), the technology used and the size of the plant. Power plants that can burn biomass directly can generate electricity at a cost of 7 to 9 cents per kilowatt-hour.
