Map of the state of Mississippi with colors indicating biomass production potential. Most of the state can produce 1-500 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county from forest and primary mill residues. Counties along the northwestern border can produce 1 to more than 500 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county from crops and crop residues. Follow the link to view the full size image.
