|---|---|
| biomass | 1. <plant biology> Plant material that can be converted into fuel. 2. <ecology> A quantitative estimate of the entire amount of living organisms in a particular habitat, it can be measured in terms of volume, mass, or caloric energy. (21 Mar 1998) |
| biomass energy | See Bioenergy. (05 Dec 1998) |
| refuse-derived fuel | (RDF) Fuel prepared from municipal solid waste. Noncombustible materials such as rocks, glass, and metals are removed, and the remaining combustible portion of the solid waste is choped or shreaded. RDF facilities process between 100 and 3000 tons of MSW per day. (05 Dec 1998) |
| hog fuel | (hogged fuel) Wood residues processed through a chipper or mill to produce coarse chips normally used for fuel. Bark, sawdust, planer shavings, wood chunks, dirt, and fines may be included. (05 Dec 1998) |
| fossil fuel | Solid, liquid, or gaseous fuels formed in the ground after millions of years by chemical and physical changes in plant and animal residues under high temperature and pressure. Oil, natural gas, and coal are fossil fuels. (05 Dec 1998) |
| fuel | 1. Any matter used to produce heat by burning; that which feeds fire; combustible matter used for fires, as wood, coal, peat, etc. 2. Anything that serves to feed or increase passion or excitement. Artificial fuel, fuel consisting of small particles, as coal dust, sawdust, etc, consolidated into lumps or blocks. Origin: OF.

| fuel cell | A device that converts the energy of a fuel directly to electricity and heat, without combustion. (05 Dec 1998) |
| fuel-cell furnace | A variation of the Dutch oven design, that usually incorporates a primary and secondary combustion chamber (cell). The primary chamber is a vertical refractory-lined cylinder with a grate at the bottom in which combustion is partially completed. Combustion is completed in the secondary chamber. (05 Dec 1998) |
| fuel cycle | The series of steps required to produce electricity. The fuel cycle includes mining or otherwise acquiring the raw fuel source, processing and cleaning the fuel, transport, electricity generation, waste management and plant decommissioning. (05 Dec 1998) |
| fuel handling system | A system for unloading wood fuel from vans or trucks, transporting the fuel to a storage pile or bin, and conveying the fuel from storage to the boiler or other energy conversion equipment. (05 Dec 1998) |
| fuel oils | Complex petroleum hydrocarbons consisting mainly of residues from crude oil distillation. These liquid products include heating oils, stove oils, and furnace oils and are burned to generate energy. (12 Dec 1998) |
