Map of the state of Oregon with colors indicating biomass production potential. The western part of the state can produce 250 to more than 500 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county from forest and primary mill residues. The rest of the state can produce smaller amounts based on forest and primary mill residues and there are a few counties that could produce 1-250 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county from crops and crop residues.
