Has Biomass Energy been used successfully in the past?

I need to know if it has. If it has been or hasn’t, please include a reason why. Like a couple of reasons. Easy best answer if someone gets.

      Of course, wood was once the predominant energy source to the point of massive deforestation. We nearly drove the sperm whale to extinction for whale oil to use as lamp oil and more recently for automatic transmission fluid. In the days when automatic transmissions were hydraulic instead of today’s computer controlled transmissions, whale oil was vastly superior as transmission fluid to synthetics and this would’ve been as recently as the 80’s and early to mid 90’s.

      Note that coal, and crude oil are also biomass energy, they just happen to be fossilized biomass.

      A lot of wood-related industries use "hog fuel" boilers to generate steam for generating electricity, process steam, or just heating. Hog fuel is waste from making lumber or paper.
