Biomass resources maps

Data type: .tif files Spatial resolution: 5x5 km Projection: "+proj=utm +zone=56 +south +datum=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs +ellps=WGS84 +towgs84=0,0,0" Biomass types: (a) Bagasse (bagasse), as remaining feedstock following the extraction of sugar from sugarcane (b) Forestry (native and plantation forestry) resides, summarizing woody biomass sources from forestry (harvest residues) or timber product residues or by-products from sawmills (offcuts, sawdust), as well as recycled wood from municipal waste, commercial waste (e.g. pallets) and residues from construction, demolition sources and from native and plantation forests (c) Stubble residues (cropping), describing crop straw from standing stubble (of wheat, oats, barley, triticale, sorghum, canola, lupins, oil seeds and legumes).

These low-moisture feedstocks (moisture content ≤ 50%) can for example be used for steam generation from direct combustion and thermal conversion into electricity in Rankine cycle power plants. Due to the limited research scope, this study does not consider high-moisture feedstocks (e.g. animal waste and livestock residues), for anaerobic digestion (AD). Australian states: New South Wales (NSW), Queensland (QLD), Western Australia (WA), Northern Territory (NT), Victoria (VIC), Tasmania (TAS) and South Australia (SA).
