Environmental impact of harvesting noncommercial wood for energy: research problems
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5779355
This is a preliminary report for discussion embodying some findings of analyses undertaken at the Thayer School of Engineering. These were conducted as part of a feasibility study for a 50-megawatt wood-fired power plant in Vermont and in preparation for an environmental impact assessment of a wood-fired electric/steam congeneration facility now in the planning phase for a site in Maine. The major research problems associated with the environmental impact of harvesting wood for electric power generation and industrial energy are highlighted.
