Fuel-supply structure of wood-fired power plants in the Northeast: Loggers' perspective. Forest Service research paper

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5384155
This study gauges loggers' perceptions of the impact of large biomass demand centers (electrical power generation) on the forest resource base in the Northeast. The loggers who supply these demand centers are business people with large capital investments in highly mechanized harvesting systems. Most of the loggers surveyed strongly believed that the post-harvest stand has improved as a result of fuel-wood chipping; however, the impact of chip harvesting on the forest resource base was not clear.
