Biomass - Technical ReportAuthor: Howard Hallman, Brad Piehl, Michael Tuffly Author Affiliation: The Greenlands Reserve Submitted: Thu, 09/17/2009 - 19:50 Edited: Thu, 09/17/2009 - 19:51 Copyright Status: Free to Download Link to source material: http://www.summitpinebeetle.org/Biomass%20Supply%20Assessment.pdf Description: The purpose of this paper is to propose a spatial model that can be used as a tool for making decisions regarding the proper sizing of woody biomass projects that require allocating public and private money and resources. This spatial model determines the cost for sustainably extracting and transporting woody biomass from watersheds in Colorado to a specific location. The model uses current costs, in dollars, and conditions to determine the economic viability of woody biomass extraction. Login to post comments
