Biomass is organic material that is renewable and originates from plants and animals. Until the mid-nineteenth century, biomass was the primary source of total yearly energy consumption in the United States. Biomass is a popular fuel in many nations, particularly in underdeveloped countries for cooking and warmth. Many industrialized nations are boosting their use of biomass fuels for transportation and electricity generation as a way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel consumption. Biomass provided roughly 5 quadrillion British thermal units (Btu) in 2020, accounting for around 5% of total primary energy consumption in the US. Biomass is made up of chemical energy that has been stored from the sun. The most prevalent technique for converting biomass to useable energy is direct burning. All biomass may be burned directly to heat buildings and water, as well as to provide heat for industrial processes and generate power in steam turbines. Pyrolysis and gasification are two types of thermochemical biomass conversion. Both are thermal degradation processes in which biomass feedstock materials are cooked to high temperatures in confined, pressure containers known as gasifies. The process temperatures and amount of oxygen present throughout the conversion process are the key differences.

Transesterification is a chemical process that converts vegetable oils, animal fats, and greases into alcohol, which are used to produce biodiesel. Biological processes include fermentation to convert biomass into ethanol and anaerobic digestion to produce renewable natural gas. Ethanol is a type of fuel used in automobiles. Anaerobic digesters in sewage treatment plants, as well as dairy and cattle operations, produce renewable natural gas, commonly known as biogas or biomethane. It can also form in solid waste dumps and be recovered. Renewable natural gas, when properly handled, has the same applications as fossil fuel natural gas. Cellulases are used to hydrolyze pretreated lignocellulosic material into fermentable sugars

during enzymatic hydrolysis. The structural characteristics of lignocellulosic biomass, as well as the content and supply of cellulases, influence the overall rate of the process. Biochemical conversion is the process of breaking down biomass using enzymes from bacteria or other microbes, such as anaerobic digestion, fermentation, or composting.

Biomass biochemical conversion technologies relate to the physical, chemical, and biological pretreatments that are used to convert biomass into equivalent products. The goal of pretreatments in biomass biochemical conversion technologies is to aid in achieving optimal conversion effects, not to manufacture final products, which is the key distinction between the physical and chemical conversion of biomass discussed earlier. Furthermore, biochemical biomass conversion technologies are more moderate than the other two.

Biomass can be transformed into various items, like hydrogen, biogas, ethanol, butanol, natural acids (pyruvate, lactate, oxalic corrosive, levulinic corrosive, citrus extract), 2,3-butanediol, 1,4-butanediol, isobutanol, xylitol, mannitol, and thickener by choosing various microorganisms during the time spent biochemical change. From one perspective, such items can synthetize substitutions of petrol based items. Then again, the items can supplant items got from grains, like ethanol. Biochemical transformation of biomass into fluid fills commonly includes the utilization of compounds or microbial impetuses to hydrolyse carbs into straightforward sugars. Albeit fluid fuel (ethanol) creation from starch and sugars is a completely popularized process, cellulosic ethanol is simply entering the business stage.
