Also how is biomass a battery? You can't put energy back into a forest

    By that logic you could also not call the flat thing inside a phone a battery because it can't feed back into the grid.

    Other way round, you can take biomass and turn it into electricity easily. But you cant easily turn electricity into biomass. (it is easy on a phone to go both ways tho, google "USB c OTG adapter")
