What is the forecast for biomass usage in the future?

The future of biomass usage is uncertain and depends on several factors, such as environmental regulations, technological advances, and economic incentives. In the short term, it is expected that biomass will remain one of the most important sources of energy and will likely increase in usage. As countries strive to reduce their reliance on fossil fuel sources of energy and move towards renewable sources of energy, wood and wood based biomass is likely to be a cornerstone of future energy systems. In the long term, it is expected that the usage of biomass will depend heavily on the advancement of new technologies that can efficiently convert the biomass into usable energy forms. The cost of biomass production and transportation will also be an important factor in determining the future of biomass usage.
