Biofuels glossary
- comp.
This glossary is a compendium of terms frequently encountered by those interested or involved in the use of biomass for energy purposes. As this is a newly developing technology crossing many disciplines, there is a special need for definitions, including the definition of biomass itself. The initial basis of the present glossary was a collection of terms prepared for the Bioenergy Program of the National Research Council of Canada. To this list were added many terms from existing published glossaries and lists of definitions in published government reports. This preliminary collection of terms was submitted to a number of reviewers for initial screening and assessment. The reviewers' and the Solar Energy Research Institute's consensus was that many extant definitions needed to be reformulated or were actually technically incorrect. Furthermore, it became apparent that many different opinions exist as to the proper thrust of definitions. 32 refs.
