Looking to teach your community about woody biomass' role in generating electricity? InterfaceSouth has developed a Biomass Ambassadors guide for educating your community and state on the potential of woody biomass as an energy feedstock. A joint project of the USDA Forest Service Centers for Urban and Interface Forestry, the Southern Group of State Foresters, the Southern States Energy Board, and the Southern Regional Extension Forestry Program, Biomass Ambassadors provide downloadable community organizing guides, fact sheets, and case studies.
The materials also include community specific profiles on a number of counties across the South. The community profiles quantify the supply of wood available , estimate the cost of that wood, and calculate the impact of 20 MW and 40 MW electricity generating facility.
All of these materials and more can be found on the InterfaceSouth website.
