Corn silage
Corn silage, also called maize silage, is the whole corn plant chopped and preserved by anaerobic fermentation in a silo, used chiefly as feed for dairy and beef cattle.
Corn stover
Corn stover is the cobs, leaves, husks, and stalks left after a corn harvest, the most abundant US agricultural residue and a leading cellulosic ethanol feedstock.
Distillers corn oil
Distillers corn oil (DCO) is corn oil recovered after fermentation in dry-mill ethanol plants, unfit for food use without refining and used for livestock feed and biodiesel.
Forest harvesting residues
Forest harvesting residues, also called logging residues or slash, are the woody material left after timber harvesting: branches, tops, stumps, and unmerchantable trees, used for bioenergy.
Olive mill waste
Olive mill waste is the solid and liquid residue generated when olives are processed into olive oil, produced at large scale across the Mediterranean basin.
Pongamia pinnata
Pongamia pinnata, known as karanj or Indian beech, is a leguminous tree native to tropical and subtropical Asia, grown for its non-edible seed oil used in biodiesel production.
Reed canary grass
Reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea) is a perennial grass native to Europe, grown for forage and, since the 1990s, as a biomass crop for solid biofuel.
Rice husk
Rice husk (rice hull) is the outer shell of the rice grain, removed during milling and widely burned as biomass fuel or used for silica.
Rice straw
Rice straw is the stalk and leaf residue left in fields after rice harvest, one of the world's largest agricultural residue streams, often burned or incorporated into soil.
Used cooking oil
Used cooking oil (UCO), also called waste cooking oil, is fats, oils, and greases from restaurants and food processing, no longer fit for consumption, used to make biodiesel and renewable diesel.
Used cooking oil (biofuel feedstock)
Used cooking oil is waste fat and vegetable oil collected after food preparation, now one of the principal feedstocks for biodiesel and renewable diesel production.
Wood pellets
Wood pellets are a densified biomass fuel made by compressing dried sawdust into small uniform cylinders, burned in automatic heating systems and traded internationally as a commodity.
