Advanced Fuel

Gaseous or liquid fuel which is produced directly or indirectly from the Gasification or the Pyrolysis of:

Waste; or
Biomass.

Provided that, in the case only of a gaseous fuel, such fuel must have a gross Calorific Value (when measured at 25°C and 0.1 megapascals at the inlet to the Combustion Chamber) which is at least 2 megajoules per cubic metre.

Advanced Fuels are utilised in Advanced Conversion Technologies to generate electricity^[1].
