US, Biomass
This layer contains the biomass potential of each county in Texas. This boundary file was specifically designed for small to medium scale thematic mapping.
The spatial data were obtained from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and are current as of 2012. The Attributes were modified to include only county name, state FIPS, county FIPS, 2010 population, total wood residues in dry tonnes, and total secondary mill residues in dry tonnes. Urban wood waste includes wood residues from MSW (wood chips and pallets), utility tree trimming and/or private tree companies, and construction and demolition sites. Data source: U.S. Census Bureau - 2010 Population data; BioCycle Journal “State of Garbage in America”, 2008; U.S. Census Bureau’s 2009 County Business Patterns. Secondary mill residues include wood scraps and sawdust from woodworking shops - furniture factories, wood container and pallet mills, and wholesale lumberyards. Data on the number of businesses by county was gathered from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2009 County Business Patterns. The coordinate system of this data is WGS 1984.
"These datasets represent the biomass resource availability in the United States by county. The estimates are based on county-level statistics and/or point-source data gathered from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, U.S. Forest Service, EPA and other organizations." - NREL
