Book excerpt: The fed. gov't. is placing greater emphasis on thinning vegetation on public lands to reduce the risk of fire. To defray the cost of thinning efforts, it also is seeking to stimulate a market for the resulting material, including the smaller trees, limbs, & brush -- referred to as woody biomass (WB) -- that traditionally have had little or no commercial value. The increased use of WB faces obstacles, including the high cost of harvesting & transporting it & an unpredictable supply in some locations. This report: (1) identifies key factors facilitating the use of WB among selected users; (2) identifies challenges these users have faced in using WB; & (3) discusses any insights that these findings may offer for promoting greater use of WB.

Book Synthesis of Biomass Utilization for Bioenergy Production in the Western United States

Download or read book Synthesis of Biomass Utilization for Bioenergy Production in the Western United States written by David L. Nicholls and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines the use of woody residues, primarily from forest harvesting or wood products manufacturing operations (and from urban wood wastes), as a feedstock for direct-combustion bioenergy systems for electrical or thermal power applications. Examines opportunities for utilizing biomass for energy at several different scales, with an emphasis on larger scale electrical power generation at stand-alone facilities, and on smaller scale facilities (thermal heating only) such as gov¿t., educ., or other institutional facilities. Identifies west-wide barriers that tend to inhibit bioenergy applications, incl. terrain, accessibility, harvesting and capital costs. Evaluates the role of gov¿t. as a catalyst in stimulating new technol. and new uses of biomass material. Illus.

Download or read book A Synthesis of Biomass Utilization for Bioenergy Production in the Western United States written by David L. Nicholls and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine the use of woody residues, primarily from forest harvesting or wood products manufacturing operations (and to a limited degree from urban wood wastes), as a feedstock for direct-combustion bioenergy systems for electrical or thermal power applications. We examine opportunities for utilizing biomass for energy at several different scales, with an emphasis on larger scale electrical power generation at stand-alone facilities, and on smaller scale facilities (thermal heating only) such as governmental, educational, or other institutional facilities. We then identify west-wide barriers that tend to inhibit bioenergy applications, including accessibility, terrain, harvesting costs, and capital costs. Finally, we evaluate the role of government as a catalyst in stimulating new technologies and new uses of biomass material.

  • Pages : 253 pages

Download or read book Forests as Fuel written by Sarah Hitchner and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-01-28 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the US South, wood-based bioenergy schemes are being promoted and implemented through a powerful vision merging social, environmental, and economic benefits for rural, forest-dependent communities. While this dominant narrative has led to heavy investment in experimental technologies and rural development, many complexities and complications have emerged during implementation. Forests as Fuel draws on extensive multi-sited ethnography to ground the story of wood-based bioenergy in the biophysical, economic, political, social, and cultural landscape of this region. This book contextualizes energy issues within the history and potential futures of the region’s forested landscapes, highlighting the impacts of varying perceptions of climate change and complex racial dynamics. Eschewing simple answers, the authors illuminate the points of friction that occur as competing visions of bioenergy development confront each other to variously support, reshape, contest, or reject bioenergy development. Building on recent conceptual advances in studies of sociotechnical imaginaries, environmental history, and energy justice, the authors present a careful and nuanced analysis that can provide guidance for promoting meaningful participation of local community members in renewable energy policy and production while recognizing the complex interplay of factors affecting its implementation in local places.

Book Wildland Fire Management

Download or read book Wildland Fire Management written by Robin M. Nazzaro and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nation's wildland fire problems have worsened dramatically over the past decade, with more than a doubling of average annual acreage burned and federal appropriations for wildland fire management. The deteriorating fire situation has led the agencies responsible for managing wildland fires on federal lands -- the Forest Service in the Department of Agriculture and four agencies in the Department of the Interior -- to reassess how they respond to wildland fire and to take steps to improve their fire management programs. This report reviewed: (1) progress the agencies have made in managing wildland fire; and (2) key actions previously recommended and are still necessary to improve wildland fire management.
