Selected Reports and Presentations
- 2014 presentation entitled Bioenergy Use and New Feedstock Developments in the US given by Lynn Wright, to Lund University Biofuels Seminary on October 22, 2014.
- A 2011 report entitled U.S. Billion-Ton Update:Biomass Supply for a Bioenergy and Bioproducts Industry updates
and expands the feedstock "Billion-Ton" supply analysis released in
2005. The 2011 report includes a spatial, county by county analysis of
potentially available biomass feedstocks, it provides supply curves for
individual feedstocks, and models resource availability in a more
rigorous manner.
- IEA Bioenergy Task 43 (Biomass Feedstocks for Energy Markets)
reports on promising resources includes papers on switchgrass in the US,
Eucalyptus in Brazil and Eucalyptus in New Zealand that have been
recently updated and added to the IEA Bioenergy Task 43 website library.
- US Woody Crops Yield Summary - Oct 2010
A set of draft tables developed by Lynn Wright for Oak Ridge National
Laboratory which summarizes yields at or near maximum MAI of several
woody species evaluated for short-rotation woody crop plantings.
Comment and additional contributions are welcome.
- Joint
DOE and USDA report entitled "A Billion-Ton Feedstock Supply for a
Bioenergy and Bioproducts Industry:Technical Feasibility of Annually
Supplying 1 Billion Dry Tons of Biomass" A report published in April
2005 discussing the technology assumptions and actions required for the
United States to be capable of producing as much as 1 Billion Dry Tons
of biomass feedstocks in the future.
