- W2579969427 abstract "Wood pellet plants have expanded rapidly across the southeastern United States over the last decade. Wood pellet markets have been driven largely by electricity generators in Europe converting from coal-fired to wood pellet-fired boilers. This has raised concerns that southern U.S. forests may be cut over, that natural forests will be further converted into monoculture plantations, that biodiversity and water quality in the forest will be lessened, and that CO2 emissions from burning carbon-based products will continue to exacerbate climate change. One element left out of the analysis regarding whether wood pellet market development is positive or negative, however, is what happens when southern landowners do not have markets into which to place their timber? Southerners rely heavily on forest products industries for economic well-being. Yet these markets have contracted in recent years, with pulp and paper industries divesting their land holdings and moving overseas. Much of this land has been purchased by real estate investment trusts, which often seek to convert the land from forest uses. With fewer markets to turn to, individual southern forest owners are also divesting forestland or converting it to other uses. Indeed, the U.S. Forest Service projects that southern states could lose up to 13% of their forestland over the next few decades, largely due to urbanization and other land development. This project seeks to undertake a policy analysis of wood pellet markets in the South, to ascertain what policy responses are needed to curb conversion of forests to other uses, and to assess the role of wood pellet markets in keeping forests forested. The project will also introduce an additional key element into the assessment of whether wood pellet energy generation is a net positive or negative for the environment — namely, that not having such markets may cause forest conversions that will otherwise leave society worse off than using southern forests as an energy source." @default.
