Biomass includes all of the earth's living matter, plants and animals, and the remains of this living matter. Plant biomass is a renewable energy source that is produced through photosynthesis when plants capture carbon dioxide from the air and combine it with water to form carbohydrates and oxygen under the influence of sunlight. The chemical energy in plants gets passed on to animals and people that eat the plants. Biomass does not include plant or animal matter that has been converted by geologic processes to create fossil fuels such as oil or coal.
