Company Profile:
Organic nonfossil material of biological origin constituting a renewable energy source.
Industry:Energy
Liquid fuels and blending components produced from biomass feedstocks, used primarily for transportation.
Industry:Energy
A white powder, soluble in diluted sulfuric acid. Used in the sulfite process for the manufacture of wood pulp.
Industry:Energy
A white crystalline salt, insoluble in water. Used in Keene's cement, in pigments, as a paper filler, and as a drying agent.
Industry:Energy
A secondary or additional product resulting from the feedstock use of energy or the processing of nonenergy materials. For example, the more common byproducts of coke ovens are coal gas, tar, and a mixture of benzene, toluene, and xylenes (BTX).
Industry:Energy

Industry:Energy
Powdered cement, produced by heating a properly proportioned mixture of finely ground raw materials (calcium carbonate, silica, alumina, and iron oxide) in a kiln to a temperature of about 2,700 degrees Fahrenheit.
Industry:Energy
The production of electrical energy and another form of useful energy (such as heat or steam) through the sequential use of energy.
Industry:Energy
A generating facility that produces electricity and another form of useful thermal energy (such as heat or steam), used for industrial, commercial, heating, or cooling purposes. To receive status as a qualifying facility (QF) under the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA), the facility must produce electric energy and "another form of useful thermal energy through the sequential use of energy" and meet certain ownership, operating, and efficiency criteria established by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).(See the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 18, Part 292.)
