This desk

The energy desk supplies fuel, not power plants. Pine needle, corn cob and bagasse pellets go to boilers, stoves and furnaces. Biomass covers crop residue and wood waste, loose, baled or pelletised. Yeast sludge and pressmud are distillery and sugar-mill by-products used as supplementary boiler fuel and in biogas. Industrial-grade molasses is a liquid feedstock for bioethanol fermentation and biogas. Moisture, ash and form are written into the contract.
