Transitioning the TES Filer City Station, a coal-fired power plant, to biopower is expected to utilize 680,000 green short tons (616,889 metric tons) of biomass annually. This study evaluates the availability and cost of woody biomass feedstocks over 15 years using network analysis in GIS and the Land Utilization and Resource Allocation (LURA) model across eight scenarios.
