1 Total capacity whose primary energy source is landfill gas or MSW.
2 Agriculture byproducts/crops, sludge waste, and other biomass solids, liquids and gases.
3 Black liquor, and wood/woodwaste solids and liquids.
MSW = Municipal Solid Waste.
PV = Photovoltaic.
- = No data reported.
Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding. Revisions to biomass capacity removed tires from renewable waste energy. Data for 2008 is preliminary.
