Overview of considerations in assessing the biomass potential of army installations. Final report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5406578
This report provides Army installations an overview of necessary considerations for evaluating the feasibility of using forest resources (biomass) as an alternative source of fuel, identifies state-of-the-art land management techniques needed for biomass harvest and management, and provides a comprehensive annotated bibliography on biomass materials. The report focuses on: (1) procedures for evaluating biomass availability, (2) techniques of harvesting biomass, (3) the feasibility of military development of energy plantations, (4) the economic feasibility of using biomass, (5) managerial and legal constraints, and (6) ecological and silvicultural implications of biomass use.
