Glossary

Bioenergy:

Energy from biomass [1].

Biogas substrate:

Biomass that can be used for fermentation processes and which mainly are wet energy crops or residues.

Biogas:

Gas originating from fermentation [2].

Biological oxygen demand (BOD5):

Amount of oxygen needed for biodegradation processes within 5 days [3].

Biomass residues:

Biomass originating from sidestreams from agricultural, forestry, and industrial operations [1].

Biomass:

Material from biological origin excluding material embedded in geological formations and transformed to fossil [1].

Biomethane:

Upgraded biogas generated through the removal of carbon dioxide.

Biosludge:

Sludge formed in the aeration basin during biological wastewater treatment or biological treatment process and separated by sedimentation or flotation [1].

Black liquor:

Liquor obtained from wood during the process of pulp production; the energy content is mainly originating from the content of lignin removed from the wood in the pulping process [1].
