Abstract: . . .  biomass to ethanol conversion facilities. As the demand for ethanol in the West increases there is a growing need to produce more ethanol from a wider variety of feed stocks including biomass. CONCLUSION The clear opportunity to address the long term health of this nation’s Western forests and at the same time generate power with a clean renewable energy source exists right now. The technology is proven, and the benefits from existing biomass plants demonstrates the potential for a West wide program.  . . .
