Material use / Industrial material use

  • Glossary item | Last updated: 04 Jan 2021

In “material use” the biomass serves as raw material for the (industrial) production of all kinds of goods as well as their direct use in products. This clearly distinguishes it from energy use, in which the biomass serves purely as an energy source.
