1. Abundant Resource:wide range of biomass resources from agricultural waste, forestry, etc.

2. Convenient:the only renewable energy that can be stored and transported; easy to process and use.

3. Low Emission:biomass combustion is carbon neutral, nearly zero CO2 emission and low SO2 emission.

​4. Cost-Effective:biomass fuel is abundant and plants like sugar mill, paper plant can use the by-product biomass waste as fuel; governments supply subsidies for biomass power plants.
