Value of the Benefits of U.S. Biomass Power

Value of the Benefits of U.S. Biomass Power

Center for Energy Conversion and Storage Systems

Research output: NREL › Subcontract Report

Abstract

Biomass power has always been used to generate power in the forest products industry, but its widespread use for supplying power to the U.S. grid is a relatively recent phenomenon. Today independent biomass power generators supply 11 billion kWh/yr to the national electricity grid and, in the process, provide an environmentally superior disposal service for 22 million tons/yr of solid waste.
