Map of the state of New York with colors indicating biomass production potential. Most counties in the state have the potential to produce 1-250 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county from forest and primary mill residues. Westchester, Nassau, and Suffolk counties can produce 1-500 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county from urban wood and secondary mill residues.Follow the link to view the full size image.
