What is Biomass?
Biomass is biological material like plant matter or products derived from plant matter that is organically renewable. "Cellulosic" or "lignocellulosic" biomass is the woody, fibrous and generally inedible part of a plant that contains critical components of plant cell walls called cellulose, hemi-cellulose and lignin. Cellulosic biomass is ...
