Biomass
Biomass power relies on plant-based energy to generate electricity or heat through technologies such as direct-firing, cofiring, gasification, pyrolysis and anaerobic digestion. This form of power requires water and land area to grow biomass crops and generate power, which impacts surrounding ecosystems and land-use options.
Rising opposition to "climate-neutral" biomass for the energy
The idea of forest biomass as ''climate neutral'' is "motivated by a simplification of greenhouse gas accounting, limited knowledge of the timing and permanency of carbon storage in forests and soil, and some parties being concerned about an additional challenge to reduce emissions if CO2 from deforestation is fully accounted", says

prices among the highest on the continent. As a result, around 95% of the energy consumed in Guinea-Bissauan households comes from biomass. The African Development Bank recently stated Guinea-Bissau has only 11 MW of installed power generation capacity, almost all of it thermal generation. "Real capacity is only 8 MW, only 5 MW of which is
Guinea: Energy Country Profile
So, reducing energy consumption can inevitably help to reduce emissions. However, some energy consumption is essential to human wellbeing and rising living standards. Energy intensity can therefore be a useful metric to monitor. Energy intensity measures the amount of energy consumed per unit of gross domestic product.
