Map of the state of Pennsylvania with colors indicating biomass production potential. Most of the state has potential to produce 1-500 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county from forest and primary mill residues. There are a few counties with the potential to produce 1-250 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county from crops and crop residues. The areas around Pittsburgh and Philadelphia have the potential to produce 1-250 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county from urban wood and secondary mill residues.Follow the link to view the full size image.
