Abstract

Questions related to energy supply, security, environmental sustainability, and possible alternative sources are of a growing concern due to population growth and increased energy demand. The main goal of this Chapter is to present different aspects related to the availability and recovery of woody biomass as a feedstock for bioenergy production in the southern United States. To facilitate growth of an emerging bioenergy industry it is important to identify feedstocks that are appropriate for bioenergy production. Common feedstocks include logging residues, small-diameter trees, mill waste, and urban wood waste. In addition, there are many factors affecting the estimation of woody biomass feedstock available for processing. They include the intensity and frequency of thinning operations, woody biomass accessibility and recovery, soil nutrient compensation as well as availability and type of existing forest inventory data. Other potential constraints that can affect utilization of woody biomass feedstocks for bioenergy include logging and transportation costs, landowner willingness to produce and sell woody biomass, feedstock storage issues, and mill processing capacity.

The tortuosity factor accounts for terrain effects. Grebner et al. (2010) defines it as the ratio of actual travel distance to line of sight distance.
