Map of the state of Florida with colors indicating biomass production potential. Counties in the northern part of the state have the potential to produce 1-500 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county from forest and primary mill residues and some areas can also produce 1-100 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county from crops and crop residues. A few counties just north of Miami can produce more than 500 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county from crops and crop residues. Follow the link to view the full size image.
