The given statement is true.

Biomass refers to a waste substance from animals or plants, which is not used for feed or food. It can be waste from horticulture or farming, animal farming, food processing, or human waste from sewage plants.

Ecologically, biomass exhibits some merits over the application of fossil fuels like petroleum and coal. The biomass comprises little nitrogen or sulfur. so it does not generate the pollutants that result in acid rain formation.

Growing plants for application as biomass fuels may also assist in keeping global warming under check, as they result in no net increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
