(B) “Biofuel” includes without limitation:  (i) Biodiesel or renewable diesel;  (ii) Renewable gasoline;  (iii) Renewable jet fuel;  (iv) Renewable naphtha;  (v) Biocrude;  (vi) Biogas; and  (vii) Other renewable, biodegradable, mono alkyl ester combustible fuel derived from biomass;      (8)  (A) “Biomass” means any matter derived from plants, animals, or waste materials that is used for the production of alternative fuels.  (B) “Biomass” includes residues or byproducts from:  (i) Agricultural production;  (ii) Agricultural processing;  (iii) Algae;  (iv) Forest or wood resources;  (v) Forestry or wood production;  (vi) Forestry or wood processing; or  (vii) Landfill refuse.    (C) “Biomass” includes plant material from crops that are produced for use in the production of alternative fuels and cellulosic biomass.  (D) “Biomass” does not include recycled petroleum oil;    (9) “Conversion kit” means a set of supplies, materials, parts, tools, or equipment used to convert a diesel-powered or gasoline-powered motor vehicle to a dedicated compressed natural gas motor vehicle, bi-fuel compressed natural gas motor vehicle, dedicated propane gas vehicle, or bi-fuel propane gas motor vehicle;  (10) “Dedicated compressed natural gas motor vehicle” means a motor vehicle that is powered only by compressed natural gas;  (11) “Dedicated propane gas motor vehicle” means a motor vehicle that is powered only by propane gas;  (12) “Differential costs” means the difference in costs between:  (A) A dedicated compressed natural gas motor vehicle or a dedicated propane gas motor vehicle; and  (B) A comparably equipped motor vehicle powered by gasoline or diesel;    (13) “Ethanol” means ethyl alcohol derived from biomass that:  (A) Meets the American Society for Testing and Materials Specification D4806-04a for ethanol as in effect on January 1, 2007; and  (B) Is denatured as specified in 27 C.F.R.
