| Abstract

As an alternative to open pile burning, use of forest wastes from fuel hazard reduction projects at Blodgett Forest Research Station for electricity production was shown to produce energy and emission benefits: energy (diesel fuel) expended for processing and transport was 2.5% of the biomass fuel (energy equivalent); based on measurements from a large pile burn, air emissions reductions were 98%-99% for PM<sub>2.5,</sub> CO (carbon monoxide), NMOC (nonmethane organic compounds), CH<sub>4</sub> (methane) and BC (black carbon), and 20% for NOx and CO<sub>2</sub>-equivalent greenhouse gases. Due to transport challenges and delays, delivered cost was
