Pros and Cons

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






Although there are some cons, there are more pros for this resource.
