Map of the state of Rhode Island with colors indicating biomass production potential. Most of the western part of the state and Newport County have the potential to produce 1-100 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county from forest and primary mill residues. The rest of the state has potential to produce 1-100 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county from urban wood and secondary mill residues.Follow the link to view the full size image.
