Assessing sustainable forest biomass potential and bioenergy implications for the northern Lake States region, USA

Abstract: Forestlands in the United States have tremendous potential for providing feedstocks necessary to meet emerging renewable energy standards. The Lake States region is one area recognized for its high potential of supplying forest-derived biomass; however, the long-term availability of roundwood harvests and associated residues from this region has not been fully explored. Better distribution and temporal availability estimates are needed to formulate emerging state policies regarding renewable energy development… Show more

“…The results indicate that the study region has the potential to supply 0.75-1.4 Megatonnes (Mt) dry timber annually, and less than 0.05 Mt of dry residue produced from these harvests. These results are significantly smaller than that of [3], which did not consider the impacts of different harvest types on collecting residues.…”

“…In most cases, harvest residues are left at the harvest site, while only a limited quantity is collected from the landing point for energy purposes [33]. As a result, harvest residues are among the largest unused feedstock [19] with annual growth far exceeding removals [3], which presents an opportunity to increase harvest rates for strategic, economic, and forest health reasons [34]. The study [35] estimated logging residues by determining the proportional volume of tops and limbs in growing stock trees, which is approximately 17% of growing stock merchantable bole volume (tops/bole) for softwoods and 29% for hardwoods.…”
