Map of the state of Ohio with colors indicating biomass production potential. The western part of the state can produce 1-500 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county from crops and crop residues. The eastern part of the state can produce 1-250 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county from forest and primary mill residues. The areas around Columbus, Cleveland, Toledo, and Cincinnati can produce 1-250 from urban wood and secondary mill residues.Follow the link to view the full size image.
