Glossary

Biodiversity:

The variability among living organisms from all sources including, inter alia, terrestrial, marine, and other aquatic ecosystems and the ecological complexes of which they are part, which include diversity within species, among species, and of ecosystems.

Bioenergy:

Energy derived from biomass.

Biofuel:

Any liquid, gaseous, or solid fuel produced from plant or animal organic matter (e.g., soybean oil, alcohol from fermented sugar, black liquor from the paper manufacturing process, wood as fuel, etc.).

Biomass:

The total mass of living organisms in a given area or of a given species usually expressed as dry weight. Such organic matter consists of, or recently derived from, living organisms (especially regarded as fuel) excluding peat. Biomass includes products, by-products, and waste derived from such material.

Deforestation:

The natural or anthropogenic process that converts forest land to non-forest.

Economic potential:

The amount of bioenergy output projected...
