Potential Application of BIOMASS Technology at National Space Technology Laboratories and Mississippi Army Ammunition Plant.

Abstract

This study was initiated to evaluate the feasibility of utilizing a common biomass (energy wood) system to produce energy for use at NASA's National Space Technology Laboratories (NSTL) and the proposed Mississippi Army Ammunition Plant (MSAAP) to be established at NSTL. The study investigated: the form and quantity of energy required at NSTL and MSAAP; the amount and characteristics of the available energy wood supply; the conversion technology; the legal and environmental issues associated with the operation of an energy wood plant; and the economics of an energy wood plant.
