Map of the state of Louisiana with colors indicating biomass production potential. Much of the northern part of the state can produce 100 to more than 500 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county from forest and primary mill residues. Along the eastern border and down through the southern part of the state, counties can produce 1-500 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county from crops and crop residues. Madison County can produce more than 500 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county from crops and crop residues. Follow the link to view the full size image.
