Biomass has been a major source, prior to the discovery of fossil fuel like coal and petroleum. Even through its role is presently diminished in developed countries it is still used widely in rural communities of developing countries there are five accepted technologies for converting biomass fuel into electrical energy

• Conventional steam cycle
• Gasification
• Pyrolysis
• Anaerobic digestion
• Landfill gas 

Conventional steam cycle:-

Biomass is burned to produce steam which is then used to derive turbine

Gasification:-

Biomass is converted into gas using a high temperature oxygen started environment

Pyrolysis:-

biomass in converted into liquid rather than a gas

Anaerobic digestion:-

typical sewage sludge is digested to produce methane

Landfill gas:-

collection of gas from landfill sites
