bioenergy
Organic matter electricity
Bioenergy is energy derived from biological sources—plant matter, animal waste, or other organic materials.
It includes fuels like ethanol, biodiesel, and biogas, as well as electricity generated from burning biomass.
Proponents see bioenergy as renewable and carbon-neutral; critics point to land use and efficiency concerns.
The farm converts manure into bioenergy to power its operations.
