^a Includes total capacity whose primary energy source is MSW. ^b Agriculture byproducts/crops, sludge waste and other biomass solids, liquids and gases. Does not include tires. ^c Black liquor, and wood/woodwaste solids and liquids. MSW=Municipal Solid Waste. Note: Data revisions are discussed in Highlights section. Revisions to biomass capacity removed tires from renewable waste energy. Totals may not add due to independent rounding.
