Abstract
This paper presnts biomass as a renewable energy source and defines the resources as well as the ways through biomass energy is converted into fuels, the technologies used for extracting the energy from biomass as well as the advantages and disadvantages that appear by using of biomass as a energy source. In addition,it is known hydrogen is an important alternative energy vector and a bridge to a sustainable way fot the energy future. Hydrogen is an energy carrier and can be obtained by different production technologies from a large variety of primary energy sources. At present, many researches are focused on getting energy from biomass, a sustainable and non-polluting way to replace fossil fuels, because the biomass can be considered as the best option with high potential, which meets energy requirements and could insure fuel supply in the future. Biomass and residual biomass can be used to produce hydrogen rich gas sustainably. Biomass pyrolysis and gasification offers an efficiency and economical route for the renewable hydrogen production and this is also discussed in the paper.

Summary
Biomass is a source of raw material and this term describes all organic matter resulted by photosynthesis. The energy markets are heavily dependent on fossil fuels which are limited reserves, so new sources must be found to replace fossil fuels In this context, biomass is other naturally source containing carbon resource that is enough in quantity to be used as a substitute for fossil fuels [1].Through the photosynthesis process, chlorophyll into plants storages the energy of the sun by converting CO2 from the environment into carbohydrates ( i.e., complex compounds composed of C, H , and O). Biomass is other naturally source containing carbon resource that is enough in quantity to be used as a substitute for fossil fuels [1].Through the photosynthesis process, chlorophyll into plants storages the energy of the sun by converting CO2 from the environment into carbohydrates ( i.e., complex compounds composed of C, H , and O) When these complex compounds are burned, they turn back into CO2 and H2O and release the energy they contain. Using biomass instead of fossil fuels to produce H2 reduces the CO2 amount released into the atmosphere, since the CO2 released when the biomass is gasified was previously absorbed from the atmosphere and fixed by photosynthesis process in the plant growing [10]
