Map of the state of Idaho with colors indicating biomass production potential. There is a fairly even distribution of counties that can produce 1-250 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county from forest and primary mill residues across the state. In the southern region of the state there are also several counties that can produce 1-250 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county from crops and crop residues.Follow the link to view the full size image.
