  7. Potential of Biomass • What is biomass? • How much do we have • Billion ton study • What year was it, 1 billion seconds ago? 1978 • How tall would a stack of round bales be? Over 2 million miles Trip to and from the moon 5 times

  10. CO2 Co-Location for Algae

  11. J. Shehan - NREL

  12. Can we maintain soil productivity? • Can we maintain/improve water quality? • Can we provide wildlife habitat?

  13. Logistical Issues • Location of feedstocks will determine location of processing facilities • Density of feedstocks will determine size of processing facilities • Harvest, transport, storage
