Biomass Reserves

Just like petroleum, biomass can be used to produce a number of products, not just the next generation of liquid fuels. However, the simplest way to illustrate the impact of biomass as a viable alternative to petroleum is using an example showing the conversion of our existing 18,000 acres of biomass to liquid fuel.

The 18,000 acres planted in 2012 will make a significant impact on the U.S. fuel supply.

There are some clear differences between biomass reserves and petroleum reserves:

Biomass reserves are more clearly quantifiable as they are easily seen from ground level or aerial observations (click for video) . Aloterra is using several cutting edge technologies, such as 3-D aerial analysis, to assess annual yields and improve project management.
Biomass reserves can be planted where they are the most economical, whereas there is no control over the location of petroleum reserves.
