Nicholls, Robert A. Monserud, and Dennis P. DykstraPortland, OR :U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station,[2008]48 pages digital, PDF file, illustrationsGeneral technical report PNW ;GTR-753Title from title screen (viewed on July 22, 2008)."May 2008."Includes bibliographical references (pages 40-48).We examine the use of woody residues, primarily from forest harvesting or wood products manufacturing operations (and to a limited degree from urban wood wastes), as a feedstock for direct-combustion bioenergy systems for electrical or thermal power applications. We examine opportunities for utilizing biomass for energy at several different scales, with an emphasis on larger scale electrical power generation at stand-alone facilities, and on smaller scale facilities (thermal heating only) such as governmental, educational, or other institutional facilities. We then identify west-wide barriers that tend to inhibit bioenergy applications, including accessibility, terrain, harvesting costs, and capital costs. Finally, we evaluate the role of government as a catalyst in stimulating new technologies and new uses of biomass material.Wood waste as fuelWest (U.S.)Biomass energyWest (U.S.)Renewable energy sourcesWest (U.S.)Wood waste as fuelBiomass energyRenewable energy sourcesNicholls David L91445Monserud Robert A1380963Dykstra Dennis P78842Pacific Northwest Research Station (Portland, Or.)EJBEJBGPOBOOK9910697388203321A synthesis of biomass utilization for bioenergy production in the western United States3482784UNINA
