Fact Sheets
Our research in public perceptions of woody biomass led us to develop a series of basic fact sheets that explain how wood can be used for energy and address common concerns. Our experience with Gainesville community forums helped us revise the fact sheets and supplement the list with more technical explanations of woody biomass systems. Printed copies of these materials can be ordered through http://www.interfacesouth.org/woodybiomass/order.html.
