Eco Friendly:

The combustion of biomass fuels compared to coal produces less ash thus less pollution. In fact the residues of biomass combustion are very rich for the soil and can be used in the farms as a soil improvement agent. Biomass fuels are better compared to those environment damaging fuels like charcoal and wood.

Cost effective:

The fuels like briquettes/pellets achieved from biomass are viable and very cheap in cost.

Gives employment:

As Biomass ideology revolves around agriculture, it opens new avenues in forms of biomass waste collection hubs or production plant for briquettes. Thus it becomes an alternative and additional employment for the farmers and entrepreneurs.
