Woody Biomass Overview No resources directed to forest residue;
focus exclusively to short-rotation crops Only 2 species under development – poplar
and willow Many existing trials grandfathered in to
current program Continue to provide valuable yield data Represent a significant investment from the past
Improved material available for 2010
General considerations for 2010
• Expanded range• Improved varieties• Multi-species yield
trials• Woody crops• Switchgrass• Sorghum• Etc.
