Arnold Schwarzenegger Governor BIOMASS TO ENERGY: FOREST MANAGEMENT FOR WILDFIRE REDUCTION, ENERGY PRODUCTION, AND OTHER BENEFITS

چکیده
Key assumptions, modeling structures and terminology were altered and refined to accommodate new thinking during the course of this study. The reader will observe in the appendices that the scenarios are referred to as " Scenarios 1, 2 and 3 " or " S1, S2 and S3. " In both the main text of the Final Report and in the Life Cycle Assessment appendix (Appendix 4), the former Scenario 1 (S1) was renamed to the " Reference Case. " Scenario 3 (S3) has been renamed the " Test Scenario. " Scenario 2 (S2), focused on the relative contributions and impact of Industrial Private Forestry (IPF) has been eliminated from most of the analyses that make up the entire study. These changes better reflect the focus of the study, which is fundamentally about the landscape level changes in wildfire, habitat, and other dynamics. The modification of terminology do not substantively affect the findings or recommendations of the study.

متن کاملClimate effects of woody biomass and fossil fuel use in stand-alone and integrated energy systems
Biomass is a key resource in a society based on renewable energy, but is a limited resource and the use of biomass in one sector will influence its availability for other sectors. The global energy system is heavily dependent on fossil fuels, and the climate impacts of CO2 occur regardless of the source of emissions. As a result, the climatic effects of biomass use in an energy system depend la...
