D. Biomass can be used to generate heat that can be converted into electricity.
Renewable resources such as biomass can be used as fuel in power plants to generate heat. This heat can then be used to produce steam, which drives a turbine connected to a generator to produce electricity. This process is environmentally friendly and sustainable as biomass can be continuously replenished through the growth of plants and organic materials.
Many electrical power plants use fossil fuels, a non-renewable resource.
How can power plants use renewable resources to produce electricity?
• A. Solar energy can be used to push energy along power lines.
• B. Wind energy can be used to cool overheated electrical lines.
• C. Moving water can be used to carry electricity to homes and businesses.
• D. Biomass can be used to generate heat that can be converted into electricity.
