Map of the state of Alabama with colors indicating biomass production potential. Most of the state shows fairly even distribution of 1-500 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county from forest and primary mill residues with high concentrations in Clark, Monroe, and Lee counties. In addition, there are scattered areas around the state that may produce 1-100 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county from crops and crop residues.Follow the link to view the full size image.
