Resource Study Illustrates Supply of Forest Biomass in Montana
Assessment of Forest-based Woody Biomass Supply and Use in Montana
Prepared by University of Montana Bureau of Business and Economic Research, April 2009.
Woody Biomass Utilization Program
Our mission is to facilitate and promote the beneficial use of woody biomass "waste" created by forest management treatments, with a focus on developing markets for using forest biomass in energy generation for public facilities. Improved use of forest biomass has many benefits: it can improve air quality by reducing slash pile burning, lower land management costs, improve forest health and resilience, economically assist in protecting communities and watersheds from wildfire, provide low cost, locally sourced heating fuel, reduce fossil fuel consumption, and create rural jobs.
