Copyright Status: Not disclosed Description:
This assessment estimates quantities of various biomass resources throughout the WGA region on a county or city basis for use as feedstocks for liquid fuel (transportation) production. The estimates are used to generate potential supply curves, calculate the effect of biomass and crop production on water use and carbon dioxide emissions, and provide quantities and supply curve data for an integrated GIS analysis. And finally, the assessment examines the impact that bioenergy crop production (grain and stover/straw) has on water use and carbon dioxide emissions due to irrigation and emissions of CO2 from crop planting/establishment, field maintenance, and harvesting.
