Renewable energy resources definition

Renewable energy resources means energy derived from solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, and hydroelectricity. A fuel cell using hydrogen derived from these eligible resources is also an eligible electric generation technology. Fossil and nuclear fuels and their derivatives are not eligible resources.

Renewable energy resources means resources as defined

Renewable energy resources means wind, solar, and geothermal resources; energy produced from biomass from nontoxic plant matter consisting of agricultural crops or their byproducts, urban wood waste, mill residue, slash, or brush, or from animal wastes and products of animal wastes, or from methane produced at landfills or as a by-product of the treatment of wastewater residuals; new hydroelectricity with a nameplate rating of ten (10) megawatts or less; hydroelectricity in existence on January 1, 2005 with a nameplate rating of thirty (30) megawatts or less; fuel cells using hydrogen derived from a Renewable Energy Resource; recycled energy produced by a generation unit with a nameplate capacity of not more than fifteen (15) megawatts that converts the otherwise lost energy from the heat from exhaust stacks or pipes to electricity and that does not combust additional fossil fuel, and includes any eligible renewable energy resource as defined in §40-2-124(1)(a), C.R.S., as the same may be amended from time to time.

Examples of Renewable energy resources in a sentence

More Definitions of Renewable energy resources

Renewable energy resources means resources as defined in Section 1-10 of the Illinois Power Agency Act.

Renewable energy resources means, according to 42 USC 7372, any energy resource that has recently originated in the sun. "Renewable energy resources" includes energy and its associated renewable energy credit or renewable energy credits from wind, solar thermal energy, photovoltaic cells and panels, biodiesel, anaerobic digestion, crops and untreated and unadulterated organic waste biomass, tree waste, hydropower that does not involve new construction or significant expansion of hydropower dams, and landfill gas produced in Illinois. "Renewable energy resources" does not include the incineration or burning of tires, garbage, general household, institutional, and commercial waste, industrial lunchroom or office waste, landscape waste other than tree waste, railroad crossties, utility poles, or construction or demolition debris, other than untreated and unadulterated waste wood.
