  2. Biomass (energy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomass_(energy)

    Biomass (in the context of energy generation) is matter from recently living (but now dead) organisms which is used for bioenergy production. There are variations in how such biomass for energy is defined, e.g. only from plants, [8] or from plants and algae, [9] or from plants and animals. [10]

  3. Electric potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_potential

    Electric potential (also called the electric field potential, potential drop, the electrostatic potential) is defined as the amount of work/energy needed per unit of electric charge to move the charge from a reference point to a specific point in an electric field. More precisely, the electric potential is the energy per unit charge for a test ...

    Wood and structural parts were sent from Austria, resulting in unnecessary challenges, such as intercontinental shipping delays and added costs, that could have been avoided by using domestic steel.

  5. Green building and wood - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_building_and_wood

    Fossil fuel consumption, the potential contributions to the greenhouse effect, and the quantities of solid waste tend to be minor for wood products compared to competing products. Wood products that have been installed and are used in an appropriate way tend to have a favorable environmental profile compared to functionally equivalent products ...

  6. Olive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olive

    Olive wood is very hard and tough and is prized for its durability, colour, high combustion temperature, and interesting grain patterns. Because of the commercial importance of the fruit, slow growth, and relatively small size of the tree, olive wood and its products are relatively expensive.

  7. Electric potential energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_potential_energy

    The electric potential energy stored in a capacitor is U E = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ CV 2. Some elements in a circuit can convert energy from one form to another. For example, a resistor converts electrical energy to heat. This is known as the Joule effect. A capacitor stores it in its electric field.

  8. Energy content of biofuel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_content_of_biofuel

    The table below includes entries for popular substances already used for their energy, or being discussed for such use. The second column shows specific energy, the energy content in megajoules per unit of mass in kilograms, useful in understanding the energy that can be extracted from the fuel.

  9. Pellet fuel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pellet_fuel

    Because the wood fibres are broken down by the hammer mill, there is virtually no difference in the finished pellets between different wood types. [ citation needed ] Pellets can be made from nearly any wood variety; provided the pellet press is equipped with good instrumentation, the differences in feed material can be compensated for in the ...
