25x’25 Alliance Releases “National Wood-To-Energy Roadmap”

July 18, the 25x'25 Alliance released a new report, National Wood-To-Energy Roadmap - A Guide for Developing Sustainable Woody Biomass Solutions , the result of a two year effort by a diverse stakeholder working group. The authors describe the project as follows: “In 2010 and 2011, the “25x25”Alliance and the Federal Interagency Woody Biomass Working Group convened a Wood-to-Energy Workgroup, consisting of representa¬tives from landowner groups, professional forestry organizations, environmental organizations, traditional forest industries, emerging renewable energy industries, and academia. Together they explored four topics vital to the future of biomass energy in America: wood demand and supply, sustainability of forest resources, carbon and climate change, and related policies. This paper summarizes the key findings and recommendations for each forum topic.”
