Cancelled - Sustainability of Wood-Based Bioenergy Development in the US South - Cancelled

The production of wood-based energy products in general, and wood pellets, in particular, is increasing in the United States. In this context, it is crucial to understand issues related to the sustainability of wood-based energy products (e.g., current and future markets, carbon intensity, the unit cost of production, land use changes, certification) for developing a better understanding of one of the fastest growing industries within the forestry sector. A mix of virtual lectures and firsthand exercises will help workshop participants develop fundamental skills for evaluating the overall sustainability of a wood-based energy enterprise.

Private and state foresters, mill managers, sustainability managers, non-profits, and members of forestry associations will benefit from this course.
