The EPA could act to open the transportation-fuel market to vigorous competition from natural gas as well as coal, biomass, and trash, by legalizing methanol. This would force oil prices down, expand the economy, and create millions of jobs.

American Scientist

Vinod Khosla

The winter period between September and March in this country, when land sits fallow and is subject to topsoil loss, we could be enriching the soil and growing all the biomass we need to replace imported gasoline.

American Businessman

E. O. Wilson

Well, let me tell you, ants are the dominant insects. They make up as much as a quarter of the biomass of all insects in the world. They are the principal predators. They're the cemetery workers.

Craig Venter

Most people don't realize it, because they're invisible, but microbes make up about a half of the Earth's biomass, whereas all animals only make up about one one-thousandth of all the biomass.

Stacey Abrams

Hydro, wind, solar, and biomass energy have economic impact across the state and, with collaboration and focus, can become engines of prosperity for more Georgians.

American Politician

Frances Arnold

Microbes such as bacteria and yeast use enzymes to make fuels from biomass. We use directed evolution to perfect those enzymes and make new fuels efficiently.

Richard Preston

Redwood rainforest has five to 10 times the biomass - that's the sheer weight of living material - of, say, deep tropical rainforest in the Amazon basin.

American Writer

Alan Garner

I loathe crowds. I especially don't like cities. A city involves biomass. And biomass gets to me.

English Novelist

T. Boone Pickens

Try everything. Do everything. Nuclear. Biomass. Coal. Solar. You name it. I support them all.

Guy Martin

I have a night job driving tractors on biomass farms.

British Celebrity

Used in ecological and environmental discussions to reference the weight of organisms.

Context Specific

Often refers to the collective weight, not the number of individual organisms.

Quantity Measure

Widely used in scientific studies and reports, especially in ecology and biology fields.

Academic Term

Biomass is a sustainable energy source, unlike fossil fuels.

Renewable Energy

Biomass fuel can still emit pollutants, though it's a greener alternative.

Not Always Clean

Refers to biological material from living or recently living organisms used for energy.

Energy Source

 so we can learn a lot about what whale sharks are doing over their lifespan it's pretty crazy and that the whale sharks here often look like a mobile ecosystem there's loads of other species of fish that are feeding on the same stuff they'll often associate with the whale shark so you'll get this huge cloud of fish biomass just moving around

Investigating the...

 If one species eliminates another, it keeps more space and food for itself. Although this dramatic life cycle occurs beyond the limits of our vision, microbial communities provide humans and other species with tangible, and sometimes even delicious, benefits. Microbes make up a major fraction of the biomass on Earth

The microbial jungles...

 It's true. Microorganisms called bacteria were some of the first life forms to appear on Earth. Though they consist of only a single cell, their total biomass is greater than that of all plants and animals combined. And they live virtually on the ground, in the water,

What causes antibiotic...

 I mean, honestly, that is all speculation, but the only thing I know for certain is that there are a hundred billion billion billlion living microbial cells underlying all the world's oceans. That's 200 times more than the total biomass of humans on this planet.

This deep-sea mystery is...

 to identify what properties it lacks. If the soil is made up of small particles it becomes compact -- so compact, that water cannot seep in. We mix some local biomass available around, which can help soil become more porous. Water can now seep in.

How to grow a forest in...

 biomass than most natural reefs I'm talking about decommissioned oil wells rather than scrap them as most regulations require we could apply a wave or tidal energy to prevent corrosion and to provide an alkaline boost to counterbalance the ocean

How can sculptures save...

 On the deep sea floor, they comprise the majority of animal biomass, reaching up to 95% in some areas. As these sausage-shaped wonders trudge along, they vacuum up sand, digest the organic matter it contains, and excrete the byproduct.

This sea creature...

 get back into the environment how do we harvest that information from nature to benefit humanity one thing that we've recognized is that there are many insects that are very good at taking waste and turn it into biomass more

Gross or Brilliant?...

 Another example of quantum mechanics in biology is quantum coherence, in one of the most important processes in biology, plants and bacteria taking sunlight, and using that energy to create biomass.

How Quantum Biology...

 geothermal and biomass over 80% of the total energy consumed by humans is derived from fossil fuels however renewables are the fastest growing source of energy in the world
