Szego, G C

The study investigated the merit of producing fuel at energy plantations at or near the bases. The fuel would be used for directly fired steam generators, hot water heaters, space heaters, and cooking. The research examined the major characteristics of energy plantations; analyzed plant-matter production rates from deciduous plants; and examined fuel consumption in stationary facilities at major troop training centers. The possibilities and requirements of energy plantations at Fort Benning, Fort Leonard Wood, and at Army bases in general are detailed.
