In “Biomass Power Plants Produce Just as Much Pollution as Coal-Fired Power Plants”, it is argued about that using biomass energy is a renewable energy, therefore, people use it to instead of wood fuel. However, biomass energy produces much pollution than burning wood. In the past decade, the United States government encourages factories to use renewable energy to produce power and provide some benefit to the factories which are using renewable energy. The good circumstance does not last long. The new research shows that “Biomass power plants are notoriously inefficient and actually emit 40-50% more carbon dioxide per megawatt-hour than coals”( Biomass Power). Even though a study which is done in Manomet center provides exact data to proof that biomass energy product more pollution than burning wood. On the other hand, an energy company and biomass industry work together to increase efficiency and reduce pollution, in order to save trees. If fewer trees are cut down every single year, the less carbon dioxide will out of the atmosphere. However, the government does not have advanced science and technology to develop high-efficiency biomass energy to achieve new standard.
