Abstract
Wood-based biomass energy plays a key role in California’s wood products economy and in the
state’s commitment to renewable energy. The state has developed numerous policies and programs
to support biomass energy harvesting, transportation, and production, and the federal
government has implemented policies to support related business development. The research reported
here investigates what policies have been most important in fostering biomass business investments in
California and in creating strategic opportunities along the biomass supply chain.
