Abstract

(Please note, this is an abstract only) This paper is for folks involved in community development efforts targeted towards biomass utilization. Our approach to evaluate the potential for establishing enterprises that utilize locally available forest resources is tailored specifically to the needs of the local community. We evaluate the: 1. Technical feasibility and economic viability of the bio-energy and/or wood products manufacturing enterprise. 2. Social responsibility of establishing the enterprise in the local community.
