Biomass

The biomass map indicates a good potential energy source based on available biomass feedstocks.

Feedstock resources include:
• Agricultural residues (crop and animal manure),
• Wood residues (forest, primary mill, secondary mill and urban wood),
• Municipal discards (methane emissions from landfills and wastewater treatment plants), and
• Dedicated energy crops (on Conservation Reserve Program and Abandoned Mine lands).

Biomass resources Available in the U.S.
