The rise in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions resulting from fossil fuel consumption has become a critical global environmental issue. A transition toward clean and sustainable energy sources is urgently needed to mitigate climate change and preserve environmental stability. Biomass is one of the most promising renewable energy sources for development as an alternative fuel. This study aims to analyze the potential of biomass as an alternative energy source, examine available conversion technologies, and evaluate its effectiveness in reducing GHG emissions. A qualitative research method was employed through a comprehensive literature review of scientific journals, energy institution reports, and previous research findings. The results indicate that biomass—including agricultural waste, forest residues, and organic waste—is abundantly available and can be converted through direct combustion, gasification, pyrolysis, fermentation, and anaerobic digestion. Biomass utilization has proven effective in reducing carbon emissions due to its carbon-neutral characteristics and its ability to lower methane emissions from organic waste. These findings confirm that biomass represents a strategic solution for reducing GHG emissions and supporting sustainable energy development. Therefore, the advancement of biomass energy requires strong policy support, technological improvement, and sustainable feedstock management.
