Bioenergy is energy contained in living or recently living biological organisms, a definition which specifically excludes fossil fuels. Plants get bioenergy through photosynthesis, and animals get it by consuming plants. Organic material containing bioenergy is known as biomass. Humans can use this biomass in many different ways, through something as simple as burning wood for heat, or as complex as genetically modifying bacteria to create cellulosic ethanol. Since almost all bioenergy can be traced back to energy from sunlight, bioenergy has the major advantage of being a renewable energy source. However, it is important that bioenergy be harnessed in a sustainable fashion.
A specific plant or substance used for bioenergy is called a feedstock. Feedstocks are usually converted into a more easily usable form, usually a liquid fuel.
