What are two ways biomass can be used as an energy resource?

Biomass can be used as an energy resource through direct combustion to produce heat and electricity, commonly seen in power plants that burn organic materials like wood, agricultural residues, or waste. Additionally, biomass can be converted into biofuels, such as ethanol and biodiesel, which can be used for transportation or blended with conventional fuels to reduce carbon emissions and reliance on fossil fuels.
