Endowment Releases Findings from Joint Woody Biomass Session

The U.S. Endowment for Forestry and Communities (the Endowment) today announced release of Woody Biomass: Report from a Session to Consider Near-term Investment Opportunities.  The document, while not a formal Endowment “publication,” serves as part of the organization’s ongoing commitment to share learnings to aid others working on related topics.

The report is the summary of key learnings resulting from a convening hosted by USDA Forest Service State & Private Forestry and the Endowment to gather and consider perspectives and opportunities to advance sustainable uses of woody biomass.  Despite facing significant barriers many believe that utilization of woody biomass for energy offers great promise not only to produce more environmentally preferable sources of energy but to also provide markets and mechanisms to aid in sustainable management of the nation’s forests.   To view the full report click here.
