[a]Includes industrial and medical wastes. [b]Includes milling and logging residues. Notes: A high probability of success is defined as either meeting one of the four EIA-867 criteria for reporting or is currently under construction. Reporting is required if the facility has obtained one or more of the following: all environmental and regulatory approvals, a signed contract for the electric energy, financial disclosure for the facility, or facility equipment has been ordered. Bioenergy capacity includes all bioenergy fuels (agricultural residues, biogas, municipal solid waste, and timber residues). Some units which use bioenergy fuels may also use fossil fuels. In these cases only the bioenergy fuel portion is included in the capacity figure. Source: 1993 Form EIA-867, p. i.
