Abstract

This study evaluates the economic and global-warming potential for a 100% biomass direct-fire biopower plant in Indiana using short-rotation coppice poplar (Populus spp.) as a feedstock. The poplar yield and moisture content data were collected from an actual field trial conducted in southern Indiana beginning in 2013. Monte-Carlo simulation was applied to account for uncertainty in three parameters (poplar yield, moisture content, and planting costs).
