The total consumer price estimates for biomass in the United States in 2022 reached 4.02 U.S. dollars per million British thermal units. In 2014, the consumer price estimate for biomass reached a peak of around 4.16 U.S. dollars per million British thermal units.

The biomass industry plays a crucial role in the United States' renewable energy landscape. As a versatile and renewable resource, biomass feedstocks such as sawmill residuals, wood product manufacturing residuals, and roundwood offer a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. Sawmill residuals command the highest price at 45.93 U.S. dollars per ton as of December 2024. This biomass feedstock reached it peak in 2024 in September with a price per ton of 49.33 U.S. dollars. By reducing waste and contributing to a circular economy, this not only helps in mitigating climate change but also provides economic benefits by creating jobs and stimulating rural economies where biomass resources are often sourced. Potential concerns of bioenergy Despite its benefits, the biomass industry faces several challenges and concerns. One major issue is the sustainability of biomass sourcing. Overharvesting of wood resources for biomass can lead to deforestation and loss of biodiversity, amongst other negative ecosystem impacts. There are also economic concerns; fluctuations in biomass feedstock prices can affect the viability of biomass energy projects, making them less competitive compared to other renewable energy sources such as hydro, solar, and wind. Moreover, the transportation and processing of biomass feedstocks can result in significant carbon emissions, potentially offsetting some of the environmental benefits of using biomass for energy. Policy influence on the U.S. biomass industry U.S. regulatory frameworks significantly influence the biomass industry, shaping its development, viability, and sustainability. Federal and state policies, such as the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), promote the use of biomass as a renewable energy source. These policies often include incentives and subsidies for renewable energy production, encouraging investment and innovation within the bioenergy sector. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Department of Energy (DOE) also support research and development efforts, in order to improve biomass conversion technologies and enhance the efficiency of biomass feedstock use. However, such regulatory influence presents the opportunity for changes in policy associated with political cycles to create uncertainty for the biomass industry. As such, ensuring consistent and supportive policies is important to ensure that the biomass industry remains as a sustainable component of the U.S. energy portfolio.

PNG Biomass project

This project sought to develop a database of fuel and energy characteristics for a range of Australian biomass and wastes to support their use in a range of thermochemical technologies. The database includes biomass sourced from agriculture (wheat straw, cotton trash, sugar cane trash, chicken manure, etc), forestry (mostly woody wastes from different forestry operations including some irrigated by effluent), industrial processing (timber residues, saw dust from timber mills, bagasse from sugar industry, rice hull from rice industry, paper sludge from paper industry, etc) and urban waste (municipal solid waste, green waste and biosolids and sewage from waste water treatment facilities). The database contains relatively simple-to-use information such as proximate analysis, ultimate analysis, calorific value as well as chemical composition of mineral matter to enable project proponents to draw conclusions as to likely plant capacity and annual output. It will be updated and expanded over time as more data are available. Lineage: A sample of anywhere from a few to 10 kg of material that would be representative of what might be available for energy purposes was obtained. A portion of representative sample was prepared and analysed for proximate and ultimate properties. These analyses were carried out in accordance with Australian Standards AS1038.1, AS1038.3, AS1038.5 and AS1038.7 for those samples collected and analysed prior 2010 to ensure compatibility with power station boiler practice. For recent biomass and waste samples collected after 2010, proximate and ultimate analyses were performed using EN 1477432009 Standard for moisture content, ISO 181232015 for volatile matter, EN 147752009 Standard for ash content, ISO 169482015 Standard for C,H,N, CEN/TS 15289:2006(E) for S, CEN/TS 15289:2006(E) by titration for Cl and the heating value of MSW samples was determined on a Leco AC350 calorimeter according to AS1038. A portion of the sample was ashed and ash analysis conducted to determine chemical composition of mineral matters .

This Web Map is a subset of Above and below ground biomass carbon (tonnes/ha)This dataset represents above- and below-ground terrestrial carbon storage (tonnes (t) of C per hectare (ha)) for circa 2010.This layer supports analysis but, if needed, a direct download of the data can be accessed here.The dataset was constructed by combining the most reliable publicly available datasets and overlying them with the ESA CCI landcover map for the year 2010 [ESA, 2017], assigning to each grid cell the corresponding above-ground biomass value from the biomass map that was most appropriate for the grid cell’s landcover type.Input carbon datasets were identified through a literature review of existing datasets on biomass carbon in terrestrial ecosystems published in peer-reviewed literature. To determine which datasets to combine to produce the global carbon density map, identified datasets were evaluated based on resolution, accuracy, biomass definition and reference date (see table 1 for further information on datasets selected).DatasetScopeYearResolutionDefinitionSantoro et al. 2018Global2010100 mAbove-ground woody biomass for trees that are >10 cm diameter-at-breast-height, masked to Landsat-derived canopy cover for 2010; biomass is expressed as oven-dry weight of the woody parts (stem, bark, branches and twigs) of all living trees excluding stump and roots.Xia et al. 2014Global1982-20068 kmAbove-ground grassland biomass.Bouvet et al. 2018Africa201025 mAbove-ground woodland and savannah biomass; low woody biomass areas, which therefore exclude dense forests and deserts.Spawn et al. 2017Global2010300 mSynthetic, global above- and below-ground biomass maps that combine recently released satellite-based data of standing forest biomass with novel estimates for non-forest biomass stocks.After aggregating each selected dataset to a nominal scale of 300 m resolution, forest categories in the CCI ESA 2010 landcover dataset were used to extract above-ground biomass from Santoro et al. 2018 for forest areas. Woodland and savanna biomass were then incorporated for Africa from Bouvet et al. 2018., and from Santoro et al. 2018 for areas outside of Africa and outside of forest. Biomass from croplands, sparse vegetation and grassland landcover classes from CCI ESA, in addition to shrubland areas outside Africa missing from Santoro et al. 2018, were extracted from were extracted from Xia et al. 2014. and Spawn et al. 2017 averaged by ecological zone for each landcover type.Below-ground biomass were added using root-to-shoot ratios from the 2006 IPCC guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (IPCC, 2006). No below-ground values were assigned to croplands as ratios were unavailable. Above- and below-ground biomass were then summed together and multiplied by 0.5 to convert to carbon, generating a single above-and-below-ground biomass carbon layer.This dataset has not been validated.
