- A fuel made from non-food feedstocks such as agricultural residues, forestry waste, used cooking oil or municipal solid waste.
- Feedstock
- The raw organic material used in a bioenergy or biorefinery process, such as wood chips, straw, manure, food waste or energy crops.
- Digestate
- The nutrient-rich residue remaining after anaerobic digestion, often used as a soil amendment or fertiliser.
- Drop-in fuel
- A fuel that is compatible with existing engines, infrastructure and blending systems without requiring major modification.
- GHG intensity
- The lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions of a fuel or process per unit of energy delivered, used to compare bioenergy pathways and verify sustainability.
- RED III
