Map of the state of Delaware with colors indicating biomass production potential. Counties in the northern part of the state have the potential to produce 1-100 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county from urban wood and secondary mill residues. The central part of the state can produce 1-250 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county from crops and crop residues. The southern part of the state can produce 250-500 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county from crops and crop residues. Some areas throughout the state may produce biomass from forest and primary mill residues as well. Follow the link to view the full size image.
