Economic Viability of Woody Bioenergy Cropping for Surface Mine Reclamation

Economic Viability of Woody Bioenergy Cropping for Surface Mine Reclamation

Planting woody biomass for energy production can be used as a mine reclamation procedure to satisfy the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA) and provide renewable energy for the United States. This study examines the economic viability of bioenergy production on previously min...
