Forest Harvesting for Bioenergy
Learn about the economic and recreational benefits of sustainably managing forested land.
In this video, find out how landowners can profit from a timber harvest. The focus is on finding and hiring a forester and summarizing his or her role in the timber harvest process.
Wood Biofuel Energy in the State of Michigan
Learn about the research that is being done to determine to how to sustainably provide woody biomass for biofuel production in Michigan over the long-term.
Discover how Michigan's forests are inventoried to determine how much biomass may be available for energy production. Visit the project webpage for more information.
Learn about the research taking place in Michigan to help determine the most efficient ways to produce wood energy crops. Read more about this research on the project webpage.
This presentation describes a model that was created to evaluate potential locations for a biorefinery in Michigan. For this project, the model sought to minimize transportation cost, emissions, and energy consumption. The model will soon be available for public use. See the project webpage for more information.
