Map of the state of Wisconsin with colors indicating biomass production potential. The northern border of the state has the potential to produce 1-250 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county from forest and primary mill residues. As you go south from the border, biomass production potential from crops and crop residues grows. Much of the state can produce 1-500 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county from crops and crop residues. The heaviest concentration is in the most southern areas of the state where more than 500 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county can be produced. Follow the link to view the full size image.
