Results of a study to assess the potential of wood biomass as a feedstock for producing energy products are summarized in this first volume of the six-volume report. Section titles include: biomass supply, including sub-sections on the silvicultural energy farm, biomass species and productivity, land suitability and availability, site characteristics for site-specific production analyses, energy farm design, biomass production costs, and energy budget for biomass production, and the utility of forestry residues--mill residues and forest residues; biomass conversion, including sub-sections on the future demand for energy products, conversion technologies, prices of wood-derived energy products, and commercial feasibility of wood-derived energy products; needed research on biomass production/procurement and biomass conversion.
