Thermal renewables: renewables and biofuels as defined by the Eurostat nomenclature (code RA000: wood and other solid biofuels, liquid biofuels, biogas, the renewable share of municipal waste, solar thermal, geothermal, ambient heat captured by heat pumps), to which this grouping adds non-renewable waste (code W6100_6220).
