McMinn, J W

The quantity of unused wood in an 18-county area in northwestern South Carolina was projected to be more than 16 million tons annually. Wood that is unsuitable for products other than fuel amounts to nearly 9 million tons annually. The most likely energy demand by industrial plants that are good candidates for wood fuel systems is 1.5 million tons annually. Maximum projected demand for such plants is 3 million tons per year. The area has a high potential for development of wood energy at favorable costs.
