Cellulosic ethanol from wood and wood residue or grasses such as switchgrass and other biofuels represent fuels that could originate in West Virginia and use West Virginia resources. Commercial cellulosic ethanol technologies will lead to increased demand for wood residue and small diameter trees as well as a new chemical industry focus in West Virginia.

The West Virginia Division of Energy also supported the publication of West Virginia
Wood Byproducts Available and Needed. Click here to view the directory, which presents information about the production and use of wood byproducts, including sawdust, bark, chips, shavings, slabs and edgings, in West Virginia and areas of adjoining states where business is conducted in West Virginia during the summer of 2007. Information presented in this report was obtained through a mail survey of 351 primary and secondary wood products manufacturers and 156 potential users of wood byproducts identified by the Appalachian Hardwood Center (AHC).
The purpose of this report is to provide current information to producers and users of these wood byproducts in order to enhance the available markets for wood residues generated in the primary and secondary manufacturing industries
