Biomass consists of food, biogas, wood, waste, and landfill gas.
Currently no energy production from methane gases being released from landfills. However, on going projects are researching ideas to diminish methane being released from the air [1].
We can also assume no energyy production is coming from plants or like species, because there is only a minimum of forests in Kuwait as shown by the pie chart [2].
Thus, we can conclude the production due to biomass is negligible for Kuwait.
