Dark Horses Questions

Hey guys, just wondering if you could help me out with a few qs:

1) What the hell is biomass? (like, a working definition)

2) What is a negative about biodiesel, apart from producing less energy?

Thanks!

I had the same trouble, have you been doing the STAV exam paper?

1) Biomass: waste plant material left after crop production..eg. straw

2) Disadvantages are:
    Forests wil be cleared to provide land for fuel crops
    Valuable land used to grow crops is used for fuel rather than for food.
