Map of the state of Indiana with colors indicating biomass production potential. Most of the state's counties can produce 100 to more than 500 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county from crops and crop residues. The southern part of the state can also produce 1-100 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county from forest and primary mill residues. Follow the link to view the full size image.
