Wood energy in Georgia
Book
·
OSTI ID:6216738
The forest resources of Georgia are reviewed in relation to energy production. Methods of harvesting and the residues and total biomass generated which are reviewed include commercial harvesting, control plot, (no management), clear-cutting, selective thinning, and firewood plot. The gasification project at Rome, Georgia, is described. Another project is a wood-fired lumber dryer modified for drying corn, soy beans, and other grains. Wood is being used as a fuel source at a school in Blairsville, Georgia; the project uses 700 pounds of chips in 24 hours of operation and shows a significant savings compared with other fuels. Energy costs are compared for whole tree chips, natural gas, No. 2 fuel oil, electricity, and propane.
