Project Components :
Project Components Industrial Wood to Energy Users Online Database
Locations and data for boilers, advanced biofuels, and other facilities in the US and Canada
Wood to Energy State of the Science Report
Objective overview of current technologies, paths to the future, and market sustainability is in review
Industrial User Database :
Industrial User Database How was it developed?
Collecting data critical and problematic
Began collecting with initial survey to 2,300 industrial locations/companies
Fewer than 150 responses despite repeated follow-up
Began state and provincial contact process.
Collect registered boiler and combustion information from government agencies through FOIA-type requests
Response rate has been much better
Received data sets from 38 states
Currently researching with 6 states for additional data
Six states have no data or no wood to energy facilities
Process with Canadian governments has been slower
Industrial User Database :
Industrial User Database Database also includes:
Forest products industry location database (developed by BioSAT project at UT)
USFS FPL for pellet mill database
US DOE/EPA Datasets
Current Data Count
~27,000 locations
~3,000 wood to energy locations
Industrial User Database :
Industrial User Database Online framework established and operational
Demonstrate facility listing
Continuing to collect data from states and Canadian provinces
Continuing to refine collected data and fill in data gaps
Known Gaps, Issues, Problems :
Known Gaps, Issues, Problems Commercial-scale, wood-fueled electric utilities not entered
Additional data for CHP units forthcoming, specifically capacity
Pellet facilities incorrectly coded in system
Proofing by individual state personnel
