Pros
Environment friendly: The plants used to create biofuels tend to burn cleaner
Renewable/recyclable: Carbon in biomass is regarded as part of the natural carbon cycle; trees take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and convert it into biomass
Easily available: Organic waste in the form of dead leaves, grass and trees, animal carcasses are available in abundance and can be used to produce biomass energy
Wide usage: Biomass can be used in many forms. It can produce biofuel, methane gas, biodiesel, and etc. It can also power the steam turbines so that it can create electricity
More oxygen!: It converts Co2→oxygen
Most of all... We have tons of solid waste, or garbage, piling up and up every moment. Biomass energy uses solid waste so that it wouldn't be fill up where we live anymore

Cons
Deforestation: Possibility of depriving animals and plants of their homes
Less efficient and costly at the moment: Some biofuels as ethanol is less efficient than gasoline in yielding energy. The cost to produce biomass energy is expensive compared to almost all other energy sources
High maintenance costs: The sources of biomass requires a large space of farmlands, and once turned into biofuel, the temperature needs to be kept at a certain range
