To characterize the potential economic viability of transportable biomass conversion facilities for producing biochar, briquettes, and torrefied wood, biomass supply chains were modeled and optimized for five sub-regions within the Pacific Northwest. … [Read more...]
Webinar: Life Cycle Assessment and Economics of Torrefied Biomass
This webinar presents the results from a life cycle assessment and economic analysis of producing torrefied biomass from forest residues. Torrefaction is a low temperature thermal treatment process that improves the fuel handling characteristics of … [Read more...]
Report: Impact of Biomass Harvesting on Forest Soil Productivity in the Northern Rocky Mountains
Biomass harvesting extracts an increased amount of organic matter from forest ecosystems over conventional harvesting. Since organic matter plays a critical role in forest productivity, concerns of potential negative long-term impacts of biomass … [Read more...]
