Research Supports Northern NY’s Biomass Energy Potential
WILLSBORO, NY - The results of research that supports Northern New York’s potential for producing biomass energy crops are now posted in two reports online at www.nnyagdev.org. The research was made possible with funding from the farmer-driven, NYS Legislature-funded Northern New York Agricultural Development Program.

“The northern New York region would have the most to gain from adoption of a bioheat industry compared to other regions in the Northeast,” says Cornell University bioenergy researcher Jerry H. Cherney.

Cherney is lead author of “Optimizing Grass Biomass Yield and Quality for Combustion,” now available to help Northern New York farmers interested in producing a farm-grown energy product.

“Grass biomass for residential and light industrial heating has the potential to be a local closed-loop energy system, with the grass produced, densified and marketed locally,” Cherney says.

1. Having camped in the Adirondacks as a kid, and seen the forests there, the clear cut potential
is startling indeed.

There are plenty of trees up that way that can be combusted and made into perfectly good carcinogens.

I can't wait until all of New York State is a giant monoculture/clear cut so some airheads with no science educations can pretend that they can sustain their dumbass consumer lifestyle, future generations be damned.

Have a nice monoculture evening.
