Map of the state of Nevada with colors indicating biomass production potential. Most of the state does not have any biomass resources. Around Las Vegas there is potential to produce 1-250 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county from urban wood and secondary mill residues. Douglas County has the potential to produce 1-100 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county from forest and primary mill residues. Follow the link to view the full size image.
