In a time of fuel price fluctuation, the use of renewable energy may offer, along with environmental benefits, greater stabilization of electricity costs. The pricing volatility of fossil fuels, along with the difficulty of forecasting fossil fuel prices, puts energy customers and providers at risk from fluctuating energy rates. Renewable energy generation brings with it the price stability benefits of free-fuel generation from emerging technologies such as solar, wind, small hydro, and geothermal sources. Renewable energy costs tend to be stable or decreasing over time, compared to rising or fluctuating costs for fossil fuel. With certain factors in place, it has been demonstrated that renewable energy can be effectively priced at or below the cost of conventional sources.

There are many advantages of using biomass as an alternative energy source. Primarily, it can be renewable and have minimal impact on the environment. The negative effects of using fossil fuels as an energy source at current rates are well established. They stem from the fact that they are a non-renewable resource and are the major cause of greenhouse gas emissions causing global warming. Fossil fuels, such as crude oil, are geologically geographic dependent creating energy dependencies for countries that do not contain substantial fossil fuel resources. For these reasons several governments and individuals have researched the plausibility of alternative energy sources including some very familiar ideas: solar, wind, and hydro-power.
