The American Biomass Energy Association (ABEA) is a Washington, DC-based membership organization focused on expanding the use of clean, renewable biomass power. It represents about 80 biomass power plants across 20 states, and notes that the biomass power industry reduces carbon emissions by more than 30 million tons annually and supports roughly 14,000 jobs, many in rural areas. The association operates as a small, member-driven body that provides policy briefings and research to keep members informed about issues affecting the biomass sector. It engages with policymakers at the state and federal levels to advocate for policies that increase biomass and other renewable energy in the energy mix, with members including local plant owners and operators, suppliers, and project developers. In 2020, ABEA released a video titled How Biomass Works to illustrate the technology's carbon benefits.
