Write 8 sentences about the fuel. 
  • How is it made? 
  • When biomass is burned, this stored energy is released as heat. ... Many different kinds of biomass, such as wood chips, corn, and some types of garbage, are used to produce electricity. Some types of biomass can be converted into liquid fuels called biofuels that can power cars, trucks, and tractors.
