Solid Biofuels — Terminology, Definitions and Descriptions

This international standard determines the terminology and definitions for solid biofuels. According to

the scope of the ISO/TC 238 this standard only includes raw and processed material originating from

— forestry and arboriculture,

— agriculture and horticulture,

— aquaculture

NOTE 1 Raw and processed material includes woody, herbaceous, fruit and aquatic biomass from the sectors

mentioned above.

NOTE 2 Chemically treated material does not include halogenated organic compounds or heavy metals at

levels higher than those in typical virgin material values or higher than typical values of the country of origin.

Materials originating from different recycling processes of end-of-life-products are not within the scope

but relevant terms are included for information. Areas covered by ISO/TC28/SC7 “Liquid biofuels” and

ISO/TC193 “Natural gas” are excluded.

Other standards with a different scope than this International Standard may have different definitions

than this standard.
