Abstract

Bioenergy is classified to one of the renewable energy resources such as solar, wind, hydro and tidal energies. It should be noted that all the renewable energies contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gases emission. In some cases, energy from wastes was also categorized as a renewable energy in our country even though it has only negligible effect on the emission reduction. In this paper, we tried to identify the bioenergy in order to follow the global indices of the renewable energy. The indices evaluated here were whether a resource is renewable, biogenic, biodegradable, combustible and organic. Biogenic and combustible were selected as the indices to identify the bioenergy. It was also suggested that combustible as an index can be exchangeable to organic.
