Plants are the most common source of biomass. They have been used in the form of wood, peat and straw for thousands of years. Today the western world is far less reliant on this high energy fuel. This is because of the general acceptance that coal, oil and electricity are cleaner, more efficient and more in keeping with modernization and technology. However this is not really the right impression. Plants can either be specially grown for energy production, or they can be harvested from the natural environment. Plantations tend to use breeds of plants that produce a lot of biomass quickly in a sustainable fashion. These could be trees (e.g. willows or Eucalyptus) or other high growth rate plants (such as sugar cane or maize or soybean).
