Investigation.

Research the following Biomass fuels. You will need to:

Write a definition of fuel. 

Write 8 sentences about fuel. 

• How is it made? The plants and the tree absorbed the sun, then once it absorbed the sun energy, it will give the plant and the tree a renewable source of energy.
• Where is it made? The biomass is produced by gasification in countries such as Sweden, Australia, and the United state. 
• What is it made with? The biomass is made from a material that comes from living organisms, such as plants and animals.
• What countries use it? Ireland, USA, and Sweden
• What uses will it have in the future? It will save a lot of energy and we might probably won't burnt fossil fuel anymore.

Biomass Fuel types.

Name: Agricultural crops and wood fuels.

Definition: The cereal crops can be used as a fuel for the production of heat. 

Research: Agricultural crops are a plant's that are grown by a human. Wood fuels are a fuel, such as firewood, charcoal, chips, sheets, pellets and sawdust.

Uses: It can be used as a fuel for the production of heat.

Image:

Name: Animal waste.

Definition: Animal waste is just basically animal manure. You can sell them to the farmer to help them with their farm.

Research: Manure is an example of animal waste. It is produced when a cow Feces it out. After that you can use there Manure for the farm.

Uses: The manure is used for centuries as a fertilizer for farming.

Image: 

Name: Biogas

Definition: The Biogas is a mixture of gases produced by the breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen.

Research: If you don't know what a Biogas is, it is a renewable energy resource:

Uses: The biogas is used to produced raw materials such as agricultural waste, manure, municipal waste, plant material, sewage, green waste or food waste

Name: Biofuels

Definition: Biofuels is a Fuel that takes something immediately from a living matter. 

Uses: Fuels for car, Fuel for work fuel, Truck and air crafts.
