Abstract: Biomass energy is a kind of energy existing in biomass. It is clean sustanable and renewable and its resource is abundant. The CO2 gas produced in the process of its utilization is nearly equal to the CO2 gas absorbed in the growing process of plants. At the same time, plants can play an important role of protecting and improving the environment. Therefore the development and utilization of biomass energy are greatly attended by the whole world. In this paper, status and prospect of biomass energy are presented.
