It has received attention as a potential energy crop, and research is currently being conducted on the use of the crop's biomass in bioethanol production.
A source of energy that is dependent on a primary source of energy for its power. Since the production of electricity, for example, is dependent on the use of fossil fuels, nuclear power, or renewable sources, it is referred to as a secondary energy source.
For example, wave power, wind power, solar power or geothermal energy are renewable energy sources. ] and non-renewable [non-renewable: A resource that cannot be replaced when it is used up, such as oil, natural gas or coal. ] . It is a cheap and readily available source of energy. 2  If replaced, biomass can be a long-term, sustainable energy source. 3  When burned, it gives off atmospheric pollutants, including greenhouse gases.
