Recommendations that could unlock the nation’s potential to sustainably produce woody biomass for energy and traditional uses, while providing balanced multiple benefits from public and private forests for the American public, have been compiled in a National Wood to Energy Roadmap (PDF) developed by a work group composed of dozens of forestry, conservation, scientific and academic experts brought together by the 25x’25 Alliance. South Carolina State Forester Gene Kodama served on the group's Wood to Energy Work Group, which developed the roadmap document.
