Plant Power
Vegetable matter (often called biomass) can be used to generate power. The simplest way is to burn it as a source of heat, for example in a wood burning stove. It is also possible to produce refined fuels in the form of solids (e.g. wood pellets), liquids (e.g. biodiesel) or as a gas (e.g. biomethane). These can be used to generate heat or electricity or, ideally, both at the same time. Plant power can also be used to fuel cars and other vehicles.
