The generation of energy from [[Biomass]] covers a broad range of input materials and technologies for recovering the energy - from [[Incineration|Combustion]] and [[ERF]] of waste based [[Biomass]] such as [[Wood Waste]] to [[Incineration|Combustion]] of dedicated crops and virgin materials such as wood, and the indirect recovery of energy from [[Anaerobic Digestion]] of food and crops. Indeed [[Residual Waste EFW]] does itself have an element of [[Biomass]] as it contains small amounts of biogenic material i.e. food, paper, cardboard and wood etc.
