Biomass energy is derived from three distinct energy
sources: wood, waste, and alcohol fuels. Wood energy is derived both from direct
use of harvested wood as a fuel and from wood waste streams. The largest source
of energy from wood is pulping liquor or “black liquor,” a waste product
from processes of the pulp, paper and paperboard industry. Waste energy is the
second-largest source of biomass energy. The main contributors of waste energy
are municipal solid waste (MSW), manufacturing waste, and landfill gas. Biomass
alcohol fuel, or ethanol, is derived almost exclusively from corn. Its principal
use is as an oxygenate in gasoline. Renewable

Methodology
for Allocating Municipal Solid Waste to Biogenic and Non-Biogenic Energy
This report summarizes the methodology used to split the heat content
of municipal solid waste (MSW) into its biogenic and non-biogenic shares. Biomass
Characteristics
This chart shows three main segments (wood, waste,
and alcohol fuels) of the biomass industry.
