... China's renewable power potential in far-flung provinces is increasingly going unused, official statistics showed on Monday, as the country rushes to build more long-distance transmission and energy storage to bridge the gap.
The curtailment rate for solar power rose to 6.6% in the first half of 2025 from 3.9% in the same period a year earlier while the rate for wind rose to 5.7% from 3%, according to the National New Energy Consumption Monitoring and Early Warning Center.

I didn't make that claim.
The definition of biomass fuel makes that claim.
Biofuel is a fuel that is produced over a short time span from biomass, rather than by the very slow natural processes involved in the formation of fossil fuels such as oil.[1] Biofuel can be produced from plants or from agricultural, domestic or industrial bio waste.[2][3][4][5] Biofuels are mostly used for transportation, but can also be used for heating and electricity.[6]:173[7] Biofuels (and bio energy in general) are regarded as a renewable energy source.[8]:11 The use of biofuel has been subject to criticism regarding the "food vs fuel" debate, varied assessments of their sustainability, and ongoing deforestation and biodiversity loss as a result of biofuel production.
