  "term": "Biomass energy",
  "field": "Environment",
  "definition": "1. Energy produced by combusting biomass materials such as wood. The carbon dioxide emitted from burning biomass will not increase total atmospheric carbon dioxide if this consumption is done on a sustainable basis (i.e., if in a given period of time, regrowth of biomass takes up as much carbon dioxide as is released from biomass combustion). Biomass energy is often suggested as a replacement for fossil fuel combustion.\n\n2. Energy produced using plant or animal matter such as corn or manure.",
