Map of the state of Maryland with colors indicating biomass production potential. Much of the state can produce 1-100 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county from forest and primary mill residues and 100-250 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county from crops and crop residues. The Washington D.C. area can also produce 1-250 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county from urban wood and secondary mill residues. Follow the link to view the full size image.
