Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Plantation-grown biomass is not inherently very expensive to burn compared to other energy sources. The main disadvantages of growing biomass in plantation settings include soil nutrient depletion, biodiversity degradation due to forest clearing, potential spread of non-native species, and reduced carbon dioxide capture from clearing forests. The cost of burning biomass primarily depends on the technology and processes used, rather than the biomass source itself.
