(a)

are fuelled by one or more of the following–

(i)

crops grown for the purpose of providing a source of energy;

(ii)

forestry waste; and

(iii)

fuel derived from either or both of these materials,

(aa)

gas derived from landfill sites of any description;

(bb)

municipal waste;

(cc)

industrial waste;

(dd)

agricultural waste;

(ee)

sewage matter or gas or waste derived therefrom; and

(ff)

fuel derived from one or more of the materials mentioned in heads (aa) to (ee) above; and

(b)

are driven–

wholly by an internal-combustion engine or a gas turbine, using gaseous or liquid fuel produced by gasification-by-partial-combustion or by pyrolysis of the fuel allowed by sub-paragraph (a) above; or

(ii)

partly by an internal-combustion engine or a gas turbine using such gaseous or liquid fuel and partly by any engine or any turbine, using steam produced from–
