Bulk materials are created in the process of making lumber and various other wood products. Saw dust, wood chips and wood shavings that are by-products of one process, are used for making particleboard, flake board and oriented strand board in another process.
Also, sawdust is formed into pellets and used as an alternative fuel source in many industries.
Electricity is typically generated using fossil fuels, such as coal, oil or gas in internal combustion or combustion turbine conventional steam processes.
Alternative fuels such as biomass and municipal solid waste are gaining in popularity because waste products are converted in usable forms of energy. Many biomass products are based on renewable forms of feedstock such as corn, sugarcane and wood.
