Biomass consists of organic materials that are plant or animal based, including but not limited to dedicated energy crops, agricultural crops and trees food, and fibre crops residues, aquatic plants, forestry and wood residues, agricultural wastes, bio-based segments of industrial and municipal waste, by products and other non-fossil organic materials. In view of this Benue State is end owed with rich natural and mineral resources which has placed the state in vintage position in the country as the nation’s “Food Basket”. The rich energy crops, agriculture crops and trees in the state provide a good platform for the government of Benue State that if utilized, will do away with the electricity deficit in the state. This study examines the Biomass potentials in the state and enumerates the local government areas in the state for the government to take advantage of.
