Triticale (Ã Triticosecale), /trÉªtÉªËkeÉªliË/ is a hybrid of wheat (Triticum) and rye (Secale) first bred in laboratories during the late 19th century in Scotland and Sweden.s a feed grain, triticale is already well established and of high economic importance. It has received attention as a potential energy crop, and research is currently being conducted on the use of the crop's biomass in bioethanol production.
A source of energy that is dependent on a primary source of energy for its power. Since the production of electricity, for example, is dependent on the use of fossil fuels, nuclear power, or renewable sources, it is referred to as a secondary energy source.
Geology and Sources of Energy. by Steve Sharp, P.E. Some of our mineral resources can be taken out of the ground and used for fuel. Raw materials have two sources: they can be grown or they can be mined. Coal, oil and gas are collectively called fossil fuels, because they formed from organic (living) matter. Uranium is also a source of energy that is taken out of the ground. These fuels that are mined are called non-renewable resources, because we can't replace them.
