Biomass
Woody biomass is defined as the by-product of restoration
and hazardous fuel reduction treatments, including trees
and woody plants (i.e. limbs, tops, needles, leaves,
and other woody parts, grown in a forest, woodland,
or rangeland environment). Woody biomass utilization
is defined as the harvest, sale, offer, trade, and/or
use of woody biomass. This utilization results in the
production of a full range of wood products, including
timber, engineered lumber, paper and pulp, furniture
and value-added commodities, as well as bio-energy and/or
bio-based products such as plastics, ethanol and diesel.
The Secretaries of the Department of the Interior, Agriculture,
and Energy support the utilization of woody biomass
by-products from restoration and fuels treatment projects
wherever ecologically and economically appropriate and
in accordance with the law. |
