Biomass Maps
These maps illustrate the biomass resources available in the United States by
county. Biomass feedstock data are analyzed both statistically and graphically
using geographic information systems (GIS). The following feedstock categories
are evaluated: crop residues, forest residues, primary and secondary mill
residues, urban wood waste, and methane emissions from manure management,
landfills, and domestic wastewater treatment. If you have difficulty accessing
these maps because of a disability, please contact the Webmaster.
