United States already generate 45 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity from biomass and that is 1.2% of whole United States electric sales.
United States also produce 4 billion gallons of ethanol, which is almost 2 percent of the liquid fuel used in cars and trucks. Same like that contribution for heat is also considerable. But still it can be produced more by better conversion technology and more attention paid to energy crops.

As compared to fossil fuel the carbon footprint of biomass energy is small which is one of the major benefit of biomass energy. When new plant material is available to replace the used material, no net carbon dioxide increase is produces by biomass energy.

Researchers have designed a product that its inventors claim could easily produce between 15 and 20 times the total electricity the world uses today. Not only that, it could also be used as a desalination device and may be able to reverse the effects of global warming.
