Bioenergy Web Site -Highlights the exciting developments and opportunities for biobased alternatives in each state. "Biobased Fuels, Power, and Products State Profiles" is now available to the public. The report also provides data on biomass resources in each state in addition to data on existing biobased industries. As the fact sheets reveal, the U.S. has abundant biomass feedstocks to fuel its emerging biobased industries.
