Abstract
Wood-based biomass energy plays a key role in Minnesota’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
Minnesota and in creating strategic opportunities along the biomass supply chain.
