The production of biomass is an assessment of organic matter used as fuel or electricity generation. Site suitability for biomass facilities encompasses a wide range of considerations. Environmental factors play a significant role, as the availability and quality of biomass feedstock are critical for the operation and viability of such facilities. The assessment involves evaluating the quantity and accessibility of biomass resources in the surrounding area, taking into account factors such as forestry practices, crop yields, waste management practices, and the potential for sustainable biomass production. Additionally, the assessment considers the environmental impacts associated with biomass sourcing, such as land use changes, impacts on ecosystems and biodiversity, and the carbon footprint of the facility. The biomass production was obtained once a month and once annually with the total capacity of 37.5% which is enough to generate or conduct electricity in some part of the Abuja. Biomass production in Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) has been analyzed to provided high per capita generation of 33.33%, and production pollutants with 37,5%, while increase in pathogens with 25%. Biomass production is capital intensive, therefore government should play vital role in investing on the massive production of alternative energy for the growth and development.
