Most chapters also provide practical hands-on advice for the practitioner, and provide a valuable resource for anyone who is considering developing a woody bioenergy project. This book also: Addresses key aspects of the emerging bioenergy economy Covers critical facets of wood based bioenergy projects  including environmental, economic, and technological implications and requirements Discusses the various types of wood based bioenergy and how they can be implemented effectively   Editors: Michael Jacobson  is an Extension Specialist and Professor for the Penn State Department of Ecosystem Science and Management. His degrees are from the University of Connecticut, Duke, and North Carolina State. His academic interests are; forest management; forest economics, finance, policy, and taxes; bioenergy; and international forestry. Daniel Ciolkosz is an Extension Associate for the Penn State Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering, with degrees from Penn State and Cornell universities.  He works extensively with bioenergy systems and businesses, focusing on community and industry education, as well as thermochemical conversion and biomass densification.      . 606 $aBiomass energy$zUnited States 606 $aFuelwood$zUnited States 606 $aForests and forestry$zUnited States 607 $aNortheastern States$2fast 615 0$aBiomass energy 615 0$aFuelwood 615 0$aForests and forestry 676 $a333.95397 702 $aJacobson$b Michael 702 $aCiolkosz$b Daniel 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437931303321 996 $aWood-Based Energy in the Northern Forests$92230306 997 $aUNINA
