| Electricity Capacity, Renewable, Bioenergy |
Megawatts |
Capacity is the amount of electricity a generator can produce when it's running at full blast. This maximum amount of power is typically measured in megawatts and helps utilities project just how big of an electricity load a generator can handle. Biomass is biological material derived from living, or recently living organisms. Bioenergy use falls into two main categories: “traditional” and “modern”. Traditional use refers to the combustion of biomass in such forms as wood, animal waste and traditional charcoal. Modern bioenergy technologies include liquid biofuels produced from bagasse and other plants; bio-refineries; biogas produced through anaerobic digestion of residues; wood pellet heating systems; and other technologies.
