Regional Logging Residue Supply Curve Project.
- (U.S.)
Because the potential user of forest residue fuel needs assurance of a continued fuel supply at a competitive cost, this research was undertaken to produce geographically specific marginal cost curves for logging residue in the study area. This research uses a single methodology and consistent assumptions throughout the study area to identify areas which show the most logging residue potential. Other components of forest residue, such as thinning and stand conversion residue, could add to the supply in many areas, but are not included in this report. The study area included southeast Alaska and eighty-four counties in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana. The results of the study placed each county in one of the following supply zone categories, based on their average annual residue production rate in million cubic feet (MMft/sup 3/) and oven dry tons (ODT), and the delivered cost of the material. Maximum potential are those areas producing at least 8 MMft/sup 3/ (112,000 ODT) of logging residue per year at a marginal cost of less than $380 per Mft/sup 3/ ($53/ODT; $3/MMBtu) processed and delivered 50 miles. Good potential are those areas which produce at least 8 MMft/sup 3/ (112,000 ODT) of logging residue per year at a marginal cost of less than $860 per Mft/sup 3/ ($88/ODT) or at least 4 MMft/sup 3/ (56,000 ODT) at a delivered cost less than $380 per Mft/sup 3/. Average potential are those areas producing at least 4 MMft/sup 3/ at a delivered cost greater than $380/Mft/sup 3/. Less potential are those areas producing less than 4 MMft/sup 3/ per year. 73 refs., 22 figs., 41 tabs.
