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.
- SRWCOWG 10th Anniversary Presentation, presented by Bryce Stokes of the U.S Forest Service on November 10, 2004 at the SRWCOWG Biennial Meeting in Charleston, South Carolina USA.
