TSS and University of Washington Complete Statewide Biomass Resource Assessment Report for the Washington Department of Natural Resources
TSS Consultants and the University of Washington recently completed the statewide forest biomass assessment for the Washington Department of Natural Resources (WA DNR). The final report was issued on March 13, 2012. The study determined sustainable volumes of biomass from forest operations that can be recovered. The assessment utilized various filters, such as operational feasibility, as well as financial and environmental hurdles to determine suitable prospective woody biomass volumes. The assessment results will provide forest resource managers with data and tools (e.g., biomass calculator) to generate reasonably accurate estimates of woody biomass material available for energy production. In addition, this assessment will provide potential bioenergy project developers with a regional overview regarding biomass feedstock availability within the state of Washington. The report is available on our website in the Papers section of "Presentations and Papers" link. The link to the report on the WA DNR website is found below:
