Wood is a Renewable Resource
Forestlands account for an estimated 33 percent of the America's
2,263 million acres. DOE and USDA estimate that 367 million
sustainable dry tons of biomass feedstock are available annually
from forestlands. This tonnage includes: 52 million dry tons
from harvesting for fuel wood, 144 million dry tons from wood
processing and pulp and paper mills, 47 million dry tons from
urban wood residues, 64 million dry tons from logging and
site clearing operations, and 60 million dry tons from forest
fire hazard reduction efforts.
