Biomass Clause Samples

Biomass. Purchaser shall have the right to offer, on or before November 1 of each calendar year during the Term, to purchase, collect and retain any Residual Biomass by notifying Seller in writing of the volume of Residual Biomass that Purchaser offers to purchase, collect and retain, which notice shall include the price Purchaser will pay for such Biomass and, with reasonable specificity, the location of such Biomass (a “Biomass Offer”). Seller shall have thirty (30) days to accept or reject such Biomass Offer by written notice delivered to Purchaser. If Seller fails to deliver such written notice within the thirty (30) day period, Seller shall be deemed to have rejected the Biomass Offer. Seller shall have the right to sell such Residual Biomass to any third party only upon the actual or deemed rejection of such Biomass Offer and under no other circumstances. If Seller accepts a Biomass Offer, Purchaser and Seller shall enter into a usual and customary agreement with respect to Purchaser’s entrance upon the Property and Purchaser’s collection of Biomass from the Property. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.5 to the contrary, “Residual Biomass” shall exclude any Biomass that Seller is obligated to sell to a third party under a contract with a term of at least one (1) year. Purchaser shall purchase, collect and retain *** tons of Residual Biomass during Harvest Year 2007 and *** tons of Residual Biomass in Harvest Year 2008 from the harvest locations as set forth in Schedule 9.

Biomass. The data on biomass are derived from agricultural statistics based on detailed agricultural data compilations and surveys for example the Farm Structure Survey and agricultural balances. Data are annually published in detailed reports on the farm structure in accordance with the requirements of Eurostat and the database with aggregated data is available on the website of the Statistical Office. The methodology of statistical surveys has been gradually harmonised with international standards according to recommendations of the Statistical Office of the European Communities. For domestic production in forestry (input) we used data for removals by tree species. Data have been supplied by the Slovenian Forestry Service. The data on hunting are not available in tonnes, only as the number of animals. We decided not to include them in the accounts for the time being and we shall research this domain more deeply with the expert of the Slovenian Forestry Service.

Biomass. Biomass shall mean carbonaceous biological matter comprised of plant and animal materials including materials comprised of or deriving from plants, animals, algae, agriproducts, paper, sewage and wastes and/or co-products containing plant and/or animal matter.

Biomass. If the transfer time is short (~2 days) the samples can be shipped frozen with ice packages in an insulated container. For extended transfer time, we recommend adding RNA later to the samples or shipping on dry ice. In some special cases sample freezing drying may be necessary if keeping samples cold is not an option.

Biomass. Bamboos like clump forming species like Bayog, Kawayan Tinik and Kawayan Kiling predominate in low to medium altitudes, are the fastest growing woody plant on Earth. It is known to produce greater biomass and 30% more oxygen than hardwood forest of comparable size. Literature on bamboo productivity is scarce, however, with the study of Klienhenz and Midmore (2001) tabulate the age class distribution of bamboo stems. They show that for most species culms are distributed between four years of growth. Their average total biomass figure of 130-142 t/ha can therefore re-work to show a maximum annual productivity of between 32 and 36 t/ha. Anil-Kumar et al.(1998) report 17 t/ha/yr for Acacia auriculiformis in India, showing that the performance of Casuarina is good under dry tropical conditions however, bamboo like those of bayog is more productive than many other candidate bioenergy crops, it shares a number of desirable fuel characteristics with certain other bioenergy feedstock, such as low ash content and alkali index. Its heating value is higher than most of agricultural residues, grasses and straws.

Biomass. AES Hawaii may reduce coal combustion by modifying its fuel consumption to include biomass, subject to the prior written approval of HECO, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Biomass. (1) AES Hawaii may reduce coal combustion by modifying its fuel consumption to include biomass, subject to the prior written approval of HECO, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. (2) HECO’s December 2016 Power Supply Improvement Plan (“PSIP”), which was approved by the PUC, outlines the actions to be taken to achieve Hawaii’s Renewable Portfolio Standards. The PSIP calls for HECO to seek the most cost effective resources that meet the necessary requirements for each island. Future Requests For Proposal will be designed to be technology agnostic, that is, to allow different renewable technologies to compete to provide the best value for all customers. This method will require HECO to evaluate each potential resource as it is added to HECO’s portfolios. The Parties agree to conduct an analysis with respect to the feasibility of converting the AES Hawaii Plant to burn a feedstock of biomass rather than coal as set forth in Exhibit 3 hereto (the “Biomass Conversion Analysis”). The intent of the analysis is to gather information that can be considered in the next HECO resource planning effort in the event that upcoming competitive procurements consider projects similar to those studied in the Biomass Conversion Analysis.
