Fueling the Future: The Role of Woody Biomass
Woody biomass, the largest source of bioenergy that has been used for thousands of years for cooking and heating, has received considerable attention in the recent past as a “fuel of the future”. Our public and private forests could provide a reliable supply of woody biomass for bioenergy production while reducing wildfire threats and the staggering cost of fighting those fires. Development and commercialization of such biobased and bioenergy products provide new and expanded markets and help reduce our dependence on non-renewable energy sources. The expected increase of biomass energy, particularly from woody biomass, could play a significant role in diversifying the forestry sector and revitalizing forestry dependent communities in the South and elsewhere in the country. At the 37th Annual SAF/SFRC Spring Symposium a wide spectrum of leading experts from around the country will describe the role of woody biomass in fueling the future.The John Gray Lecture will keynote the Symposium and will be presented by Dr. Ann Bartuska, Deputy Chief of the USDA Forest Service.
