Abstract

Fossil fuels Emission and their limited resources make the human to use more sustainable energy sources especially renewable energy ones with less minimal environmental impacts. One of the most appropriate renewable energies considered lots of advantages including being renewable and environmentally friendly and containing social and economical interests, is Biomass energy placed in the second rank following water energy. Biomass resources available to multiple sources involved Collective and distributed ones, also different technologies have been allocated for its development and application. Since the release of natural resources in environment, causing water, soil and air pollutants and production of significant greenhouse gas, energy produced from biomass is cleaner than fossil energy. Thus, in recent years, more attention worldwide, especially in developing countries have been specified to develop and increase its share in the energy supply. Other benefits, such as creating employment, rural economy contribution, improving living conditions, beautifying the environment and good potential factors justified its proper function, and it could be considered as one of the alternatives of fossil fuels in energy supply.
