Special to The Digest

The US has over a billion tons of biomass which can be used as a key lever to drive economic recovery. USDA estimates that 3.4 million jobs and nearly $660 billion of economic benefits would be created by using biomass to manufacture alternative fuels, renewable chemicals, bio-based products and sustainable aviation fuels. BD Zones and BDO Zones are shovel-ready, actionable initiatives that unlock billions of dollars of institutional investment into communities where there is a surplus of biomass and where employment and bioeconomy development can be closely linked.
