Tóm tắt

Developing sustainable supply chains for bioenergy begins with forest owners. Here we review results from a survey of private forest owners in regions that supply a majority of US wood pellets to Europe. Most private forest owners are aware that environmental benefits of bioenergy outweigh the costs. Aesthetic and conservation values are among multiple reasons for keeping land in forests. A majority of the 724 private land owners who responded to the survey are willing to provide woody biomass for energy. Owners place high value on hunting and recreational use of forests. Factors affecting willingness to supply biomass for energy include the right price, noninterference with traditional saw timber income, and compatibility with the owners? land management and conservation goals.
