As you can see, countries all around the world are beginning to take notice of the potential of woody biomass as a source of energy and as a raw material that can replace many petroleum-based products. The potential exists among southern forests here in the U.S. to make use of woody biomass as well. With the development of a competitive market for bioenergy and bio-based products we will be able to take advantage of the many economic and environmental benefits of using woody biomass. But this module is just the beginning. We hope that you will explore additional modules to learn more about woody biomass and how you, as a landowner, might take advantage of this emerging forest product.
