[1] Wood/wood waste solids (including paper pellets, railroad ties, utility poles, wood chips, bark, and wood waste solids), wood waste liquids (red liquor, sludge wood, spent sulfite liquor, and other wood-based liquids), and black liquor.
[2] Municipal solid waste, landfill gas, sludge waste, agricultural byproducts, other biomass solids, other biomass liquids, and other biomass gases (including digester gases, methane, and other biomass gases).
[3] Small number of electricity-only, non-Combined Heat and Power plants may be included.
[R] Revised.
* = Value is less than half of the smallest unit of measure.
Notes:
• See Glossary reference for definitions.
• Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.
• Capacity by energy source is based on the capacity associated with the energy source reported as the most predominant (primary) one, where more than one energy source is associated with a generator.
