Ancient way of converting biomass into energy is just to burn it for producing heat, as humans practiced it for thousands of years. Still this is the most common way for conversion of biomass into energy in United States and elsewhere also.
The heat generated from biomass can be used for heating, cooking, and industrial processes, or for producing electricity.
Using biomass for burning haves some problems regarding some energy waste and also some air pollution if it is not carefully controlled.

Energy projects for 2050 propose the earth will require between 28-35 terawatts (TW) per year, increasing from approximately 13TW in 2000. Nuclear will surely be an element but 8 TW of atomic power requires 8000 new powerhouses, or 1 fresh plant for each 1.4 days. Still the most hardcore advocates of the atom do not believe that is potential to occur.

In 1960 the Arctic National Wildlife Range was established. The purpose of its establishment is to protect the “unique wildlife, wilderness and recreational values” of the area.It is being thought that this region could be a possible oil-development site, but it is said by the environmental groups that any oil production in this region would deeply upset the natural ecosystem within the ANWR.
