Interest in biomass energy resources from forests, farms and other
sources has been rapidly increasing in recent years because of
growing concern with reducing carbon dioxide emissions and
developing alternatives to increasingly scarce, expensive and
insecure oil supplies. The uniqueness of this book is its coverage
of biomass energy markets in the US from an economic as well as
technical perspective. Existing books typically focus on single
markets or technical aspects at the exclusion of economics, and
have given greater coverage to biomass energy outside the US. This
edited collection has three main parts. Part One provides a
historical overview of forest biomass energy use in the US; the
major technologies, economics, market prospects, and policies. Part
Two presents forest biomass energy assessments, including life
cycle and sustainability perspectives, and Part Three includes five
sets of regional case studies. After reviewing the history of wood
energy use in the US and technology options, the book shows that
forests could displace sixteen per cent of domestic transportation
fuel use in 2030. Renewable Energy from Forest Resources in the
United States includes a Foreword from Chris Flavin, President of
the Worldwatch Institute.
