Bioenergy refers to energy harnessed from organic materials - collectively known as biomasa. This category included des intential-grown energy crops (such as miscanthus and short-rotation coppice), agricultural residues (straw, corn stover, husks), forestry by- products (wood chips, sawdust, bark), and organic fractions of municipai solid waste.
