“Eligible electric biomass technologies” means electric generating technologies that use biomass fuels as their primary fuel, provided that the generation unit:
- (a) Has a quarterly average nitrogen oxide (NOX) emission rate for the hours in the calendar quarter during which the device generated electricity of less than or equal to 0.075 pounds/million British thermal units (lbs/MMBtu), and either has a particulate emission rate of less than or equal to 0.02 lbs/MMBtu as measured and verified under RSA 362-F:12, or is participating in a plan approved by the department under RSA 362-F:11, IV for reductions in particulate matter emissions from other emission sources comparable to the difference between the generation unit's particulate matter emissions rate and the 0.02 lbs/MMBtu rate; and
- (b) Uses any fuel other than the primary fuel only for start-up, maintenance, or other required internal needs.
