What is bioenergy?

Bioenergy, or biomass energy, is a renewable energy source derived from biomass. It is an umbrella term for any organic material generated by living organisms, such as crops, biogas, general waste, and general industrial waste. Taiwan has a long history of agriculture, and is therefore well-equipped with the necessary technology to grow energy crops. In other words, we have the ability to produce the raw materials necessary for bioenergy. Biomass can be used as an alternative energy source and can produce a wide array of energy products, such as biomass alcohol, biodiesel, biogas, syngas, and densified refuse derived fuel (RDF-5).
