Map of the state of Massachusetts with colors indicating biomass production potential. Much of the state can produce 1-100 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county from forest and primary mill residues and the urban areas, especially on the eastern side of the state, can produce 100-500 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county from urban and secondary residues.
