5. RENEWABLE ENERGY AND ENERGY FROM WASTE

Unless otherwise specified this data collection applies to all of the following energy products: Energy product Definition 1. Hydro power Potential and kinetic energy of water converted into electricity in hydroelectric plants. Pumped storage must be included. Production must be reported for plant sizes of < 1 MW, 1 to < 10 MW, ≥ 10 MW and from pumped storage. 2. Geothermal Energy available as heat emitted from within the earth's crust, usually in the form of hot water or steam. This energy production is the difference between the enthalpy of the fluid produced in the production borehole and that of the fluid eventually disposed of. It is exploited at suitable sites: for electricity generation using dry steam or high enthalpy brine after flashing, directly as heat for district heating, agriculture etc. 3. Solar energy Solar radiation exploited for hot water production and electricity generation. This energy production is the heat available to the heat transfer medium, i.e. the incident solar energy less the optical and collectors' losses. Passive solar energy for the direct heating, cooling and lighting of dwellings or other buildings is not included. 3.1. Of which: solar photovoltaic Sunlight converted into electricity by the use of solar cells usually made of semi-conducting material which exposed to light will generate electricity. 3.2. Of which: solar thermal Heat from solar radiation; can consist of: (a) solar thermal-electric plants; or (b) equipment for the production of domestic hot water or for the seasonal heating of swimming pools (e.g. flat plate collectors, mainly of the thermosyphon type). 4. Tide, wave, ocean Mechanical energy derived from tidal movement, wave motion or ocean current and exploited for electricity generation. 5. Wind Kinetic energy of wind exploited for electricity generation in wind turbines. 6. Industrial waste (non-renewable) Report wastes of industrial non-renewable origin (solids or liquids) combusted directly for the production of electricity and/or heat. The quantity of fuel used should be reported on a net calorific value basis. Renewable industrial waste should be reported in the solid biomass, biogas and/or liquid biofuels categories. 7. Municipal waste Wastes produced by households, hospitals and the tertiary sector incinerated at specific installations, on a net calorific value basis. 7.1. Of which: renewable The portion of municipal waste which is of biological origin. 7.2. Of which: non-renewable The portion of municipal waste which is of non-biological origin. 8. Solid biomass Covers organic, non-fossil material of biological origin which may be used as fuel for heat production or electricity generation. It comprises: 8.1. Of which: charcoal The solid residue of the destructive distillation and pyrolysis of wood and other vegetal material. 8.2. Of which: wood, wood wastes, other solid wastes Purpose-grown energy crops (poplar, willow etc.), a multitude of woody materials generated by an industrial process (wood/paper industry in particular) or provided directly by forestry and agriculture (firewood, wood chips, wood pellets, bark, sawdust, shavings, chips, black liquor etc.) as well as wastes such as straw, rice husks, nut shells, poultry litter, crushed grape dregs etc. Combustion is the preferred technology for these solid wastes. The quantity of fuel used should be reported on a net calorific value basis. 9. Biogas A gas composed principally of methane and carbon dioxide produced by anaerobic digestion of biomass. 9.1. Of which: landfill gas A biogas formed by the digestion of landfilled wastes. 9.2. Of which: sewage sludge gas A biogas produced from the anaerobic fermentation of sewage sludge. 9.3. Of which: other biogas Biogas produced from the anaerobic fermentation of animal slurries and of wastes in abattoirs, breweries and other agro-food industries. 10. Liquid biofuels The quantities of liquid biofuels reported in this category should relate to the quantities of biofuel and not to the total volume of liquids into which the biofuels are blended. For the particular case of imports and exports of liquid biofuels, only trade of quantities that have not been blended with transport fuels is concerned (i.e. in their pure form); trade of liquid biofuels blended to transport fuels should be reported in the oil data in Chapter 4. The following liquid biofuels are concerned: 10.1. Of which: biogasoline This category includes bioethanol (ethanol produced from biomass and/or the biodegradable fraction of waste), biomethanol (methanol produced from biomass and/or the biodegradable fraction of waste), bioETBE (ethyl-tertio-butyl-ether produced on the basis of bioethanol; the percentage by volume of bioETBE that is calculated as biofuel is 47 %) and bioMTBE (methyl-tertio-butyl-ether produced on the basis of biomethanol: the percentage by volume of bioMTBE that is calculated as biofuel is 36 %). 10.2. Of which: bio-diesels This category includes bio-diesel (a methyl-ester produced from vegetable or animal oil, of diesel quality), biodimethylether (dimethylether produced from biomass), Fischer-Tropsch (Fischer-Tropsch produced from biomass), cold extracted bio-oil (oil produced from oil seed through mechanical processing only) and all other liquid biofuels which are added to, blended with or used straight as transport diesel. 10.3. Of which: other liquid biofuels Liquid biofuels, used directly as fuel, not included in biogasoline or bio-diesels.
