On the basis of § 2 para. 1 sentence 2 of the Renewable Energy Act of 29 March 2000 (Federal Law Gazette I, p. 305) in conjunction with
Article 56 para. 1 of the jurisdiction adaptation Act of 18 March 1975 (BGBl. I S.
705) and the organizational decree of the Federal Chancellor of 22 January 2001 (Federal Law Gazette I, p. 127), the Federal Ministry for the

and of Economics and Technology, while respecting the rights of Bundestag:

§ 1 area of ​responsibility

This Regulation lays down for the application of the Renewable Energy Act, which substances are considered biomass, which technical
processes for generating electricity from biomass within the scope of the law to fall and what environmental standards must be observed in the
generation of electricity from biomass.

§ 2 Recognized biomass

(1) biomass within the meaning of this Regulation are energy sources from phytomass and zoomass. This includes from phytoplankton and
zoomass resulting derivatives and by-products, residues and waste whose energy content comes from phytomass and zoomass.

(2) biomass as defined in paragraph 1 are in particular:

1. Plants and plant components

 
2. Energy carrier prepared from plants or plant parts, of which all the components and intermediate products from biomass have been
produced in accordance with paragraph 1,
 
3. waste and by-products of vegetable and animal origin from agriculture, forestry and fisheries,
 
4. organic waste within the meaning of § 2 no. 1 of the Biological Waste Ordinance,
 
5. from biomass within the meaning of paragraph 1 by gasification or pyrolysis gas generated and the resulting derivatives and
by-products
 
6. produced from biomass as defined in paragraph 1 alcohols, their components, intermediates, derivatives and by-products were
produced from biomass.
 
(3) Notwithstanding paragraph 1 are considered biomass within the meaning of this Regulation:

1. Flotsam from river maintenance, bank maintenance and -reinhaltung,

 
2. if not for the fermentation of substances according to § 3, paragraph 3, 7 or 9 or more than 10 weight percent sewage sludge are used by
anaerobic fermentation biogas generated.

(4) substances 3 sentence 4 of the German Renewable Energy Sources Act of 29 March 2000 from those in existing installations within the meaning of § 2
para. (I, p. 305), as applicable on 31 July 2004 version generates electricity and has already been paid as electricity from biomass before 1 April 2000 shall
continue in these plants as biomass. This does not apply to substances pursuant to § 3 no. 4,.

§ 2a (Deleted)

§ 3 Non-recognized as biomass materials

are not considered biomass within the meaning of this Regulation:

1.   fossil fuels and produced therefrom by-products and secondary products,
 
Second   Peat,
 
Third   mixed municipal waste collected from private households and similar waste from other source categories including dissolved out of
mixed municipal waste biomass fractions
 
4th   Old wood with the exception of industrial waste wood
 
5th   Paper, cardboard,
 
6th   Sewage sludge within the meaning of the Sewage Sludge Ordinance,
 
7. Harbor silt and other Gewässerschlämme and -sedimente,
 
8th.   Textiles,
 
9th   animal by-products within the meaning of Article 3, Section 1 of Regulation (EC) no. 1069/2009 of the European Parliament and of
the Council of 21 October 2009 laying down health rules concerning animal by-products for human consumption and repealing

disposed of by incineration as waste directly, or
 
d) (to Category 3 material in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation EC) No. 1069/2009 is being processed in processing plants for
category 1 or 2, as well as substances produced by the local processing or may be otherwise formed,
 
 
10 landfill gas,
 
11. sewage gas,
 
12. liquors of pulp production.
 
§ 4 Technical Procedures

including organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) processes,
 
2. Internal Combustion Engines,
 
3. Gas turbine plants,
 
4. fuel cell systems,
