In the pursuit of net-zero targets, the United States Department of Energy releases the fourth in a series of national biomass resource assessments, the Billion-Ton 2023 (BT23). This session will present the detailed results from the forested land base, including wildfire crisis strategy biomass.

Learning Objectives:

understand biomass resources in terms of quantity, spatial distribution, and economic accessibility.
understand nuanced regional variations in biomass availability, ranging from the immediate potential of forest wastes to potential Wildfire Crisis Strategy residues.
describe input data (e.g., costs, yields, and economic inputs) used in BT23 analyses and understand how to access to the latest biomass resource data and results that support the data-driven bioeconomy under the new bioenergyKDF.ornl.gov data portal.
