Bioenergy in its most basic sense is the same as biofuels which are fuel derived from biological sources. In its broader sense it includes biomass, the biological material used as a biofuel, as well as the social, economic, scientific and technical fields associated with using biological sources for energy. Bioenergy is the energy extracted from the biomass, biomass is the fuel and the bioenergy is the energy released by the fuel.
Biomass may include wood, wood waste, straw, manure, sugar cane, and having been harvested and dried, is burned at high temperatures to generate electricity from steam turbines.
Burning biomass can reduce carbon dioxide emissions as organic material is carbon neutral. When burned it only gives off as much carbon dioxide as it has absorbed during its lifetime. Biomass also contains only very low levels of sulphur, reducing the problem of acid rain.
