Woody Biomass Sustainability for Bioenergy Production in West Virginia
West Virginia is the third most heavily forested state in the U.S. and produces 2.41 million dry tons of wood residues annually. These wood wastes are sustainable and can be used as feedstock for biofuels, bio-gas and green electricity. Biomass sustainability, efficient harvesting, extraction, and transportation of woody biomass are the key to the economic success of wood residue utilization. T...

متن کاملForest Sustainability and Carbon Balance of EU Importation of North American Forest Biomass for Bioenergy Production
The context Biomass for energy plays a significant role in the EU renewable energy picture, with bioenergy expected to remain a key strategy for both the near and long term. Although biomass supplies within EU Member States are substantial, it will nonetheless be necessary to import significant volumes of fuel pellets and other forms of biomass in order to meet ambitious EU renewable energy tar...
متن کاملA global conversation about energy from biomass: the continental conventions of the global sustainable bioenergy project
The global sustainable bioenergy (GSB) project was formed in 2009 with the goal of providing guidance with respect to the feasibility and desirability of sustainable, bioenergy-intensive futures. Stage 1 of this project held conventions with a largely common format on each of the world's continents, was completed in 2010, and is described in this paper. Attended by over 400 persons, the five co...
متن کاملLocal Versus Global Triangulations
Free form surfaces are commonly represented by triangular or quadrilateral meshes. Often these meshes are obtained from unorganized point sets sampled from some object’s surface. We show that local rather than global triangulations of point sets are equally well suited for object representations and that the local triangulations proposed in this paper may even lead to fast triangulation routines.
