Is there an inconsistency between using "biomass" and "bioenergy" in variable names?

Example: Carbon Removal|Geological Storage|Bioenergy
Why not: Carbon Removal|Geological Storage|Biomass?

Compare: Primary Energy|Biomass|w/ CCS

Or is there a systematic rule when to use bioenergy and when biomass? If not I suggest to use Biomass consistently.

Generally when discussing the source of carbon, I would use the term "Biogenic" as opposed to fossil, etc.

So if I had to pick between "Biomass" and "Bioenergy", the closest to that is "Biomass". But still less precise..
